Dart such a wonderful buy is this: It is a

Theft, Damage And Destruction
Of Property
I This li one ?/ a ttrUt of orticlts on federal income lax
fllinj. The articles art bated on information provided bp the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the
Horth Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants,
t> cooperation with the Internal Revenue Bervice )
YOU can get some relief from casualty and theft losses by
taking advantage of the legitimate tax deductions you
are allowed.
To help you prepare a correct
return and take advantage ot
legitimate tax saving*, thia news
paper la printing a series ot tour
article* prepared with the help
ot the atuu- and national orga
nisation ot certified public ac
countanta.
Today's article considers the
problems you may have In claim
ing deductions for thett or casu
alty losses. Later articles will
offer advice on other tax prob
lems ot particular Interest to
homeowners.
Time and Destruction
Thero are a great many ways
In which your property can be
damaged or destroyed, as tor ex
ample, by fire, storm, flood, or
explosion. Generally, a casualty
which will give rise to a deduc
tible low must occur with some
suddenness. However, there are
situations where the casualty
occurs over a period of time and
still re?Ults in a deductible casu
alty losa. For example, consider ,
the damage caused by termites.
Say that you purchased your
house In June 1967 and at that
time a check by experts showed
that there were no termites
present. Then, In February 1958,
you discover that termites have
been eating your house from
under you. Can you claim a casu
alty loss deduction for the ter
mite damage? Yes, you can, even
though the damage took place
over a nine month period.
The casualty here, is the in
vasion' of your house by the ter
mites. However, it Is probable
that a casualty deduction will
not be allowed where the ter
mite damage did not occur over
a relatively short period of time.
The Properly Mutt Be Your$
You must have ownership of
the damaged property to claim a
loss deduction. It is quite con
ceivable that severe damage to
the property around your house
may cause the value of your
property to decline. Although the
damage occurred suddenly, you
cannot claim a deduction tor the
Next Article: Buying, Sellin
loss In value unless your own
property was actually damaged.
You ran claim a deduction for
a drop in the value of your car
due to an accident. This is true
regardless of whether you or
another driver Is to blame, un
less the accident Is a result of
your willful negligence. How
ever, If you are responsible for
a car accident and have to pay
for damage Inflicted on someone
else's car, you cannot deduct the
payment as a casualty loss.
Proving a Carnally Lou
Determining the amount you
can claim as a casualty loss may
be very difficult. Generally you
are allowed to claim the amount
by which your property de
creased in value. In some cases,
a repair bill will be considered
sufficient to support your deduc
tion.
The best thing you can do is
gather together any information
that may help support the
amount you claim as a deduc
tion. For example, it your house
is badly damaged, a qualified ar
chitect can often give a reason
able estimate of the before and
after value. The appraisal fee,
by the way, is a deductible ex
pense.
Theft Losses
You can claim a deduction
for the value of property that is
stolen. The problem in claiming
lapses from theft is that you will
probably have to show some
evidence that the theft took
place. Be sure that there is at
least a police record of the theft
and a report of any findings the
police may have come up with.
Also, you might keep track of
newspaper accounts, insurance
reports, and so on. Theft losses
are deductible in the year you
discover that your property is
iqissing.
You can get additional infor
mation on casualty and theft de
ductions from the instruction
booklet issued by the Internal ;
Revenue Service each year.

GARDEN TINE
By M. E. Gardner
Last week I suggested that the
best time xo seed permanent (ever
green) lawn grasses, such as Blue
grasa and fescue, was in the (all.
Playing a hunch tlut more ?than
50 par cent of the lawns are I
sp.ing seeded. I thought it might be
I well to give some suggestions abou.
I lawn making. I made no reference
to the warm season grasses, such
H.iinuda. but m ill in due course.
Wha are the basic principles in
vtilved in the preparation of a gaud
seed bed? If we can establish cer
| tain b. sic principles, we can then
t;:pl> them to most any soil type
and tliere are many in North Caro
lina, ranging from heavy clays to
I porous sands. We might consider
' figuratively speaking, the seed bed
as composed of layers: he top
tl.ree inches will compose the plan!
food layer; the neri. four or five
inchc; the moisture reserve; anil
th:- next four or five i tic he; the
drainage layer. In sirme sections
{?' the state you may uave soil
crnd: ions similar to what I hrv
described. If you do, the problem
is star. plifitd. Since many of us arc
nci so fortunate, perhaps some
suggestions nvill help.
A gocd supiJy of organic material
is desirable in the top or plant food
_rt a. This can be accompli toed ay
t< sing well-ileccmpcsed prepared
iccmpost, peat, or well dccamposej
.sawdust. Ii ,vc give priority ta
. hese three organic materials, we
would give first ;o properly pre
pared cerrpi st, second to peat oivl
third to sawdust. Th? reason for
this is due to tJ-c fact tha sawdus
i? mare demanding in nitrogen re
quirements. If this is understood
and the N supply as properly reg
ulated, it may be used succssfully.
The second layer, mois ure re
serve, F'houid also can. ain organic
matter to hold water. If you have
? gcod loamy tdp-soil, this ;iiculd
be sufficient. If not, it would b:
'jest to incorporate more c mpos ,
peat or sawdust in tikis second
layer.
Tho third or drainage layer is
usually porous enough to carry off
surplus water. If it is not, some
method of sub-drainage, such as
!ile, should be considered.
