If for any reason ,ybu require an extension, it' you will write to the office we will give consideration to your case. -In that respect you should' advise us the probable date on which the return is expected to be filed, so that we will not institute a follow-up action until you have had a chance to file your return on the said date, The Municipal Council of the Town- ship of Usborne met April 12 with Reeve Hugh Berry presiding and Councillors Wellington Brock, Oscar Tuckey, James Simpson and Verne Pincombe present. Minutes of the last regular meeting, held on March 8, and minutes of a special meeting held on the evening of March 26, were con- firmed as printed, on motion of Coun- cillors Brock and Pincombe. Harold Taylor interview the coun- cil asking for the extension of the drain petitioned for on Concessions 4 and 5, north across the St. Marys road and across the width of his lot 17, for the better drainage of the pro- perty in that area and the roadside. Council agreed that it would be a good plan and promised to bring the taunter to the attention.of the En- gineer. Alfred Coates interviewed the council asking that the repair of the Fletcher Drain be extended to his property, Lot 4, Con. 2. Council agreed to ask the Engineer to include the whole of the drain in his inspection. James Howe. assistant to Engineer R. W. Archibald, called and reported that he had been making an inspec- tion of the Stewart Drain, and had found that repairs were needed to give proper outlet to farm drains in that area. He also reported that he had been checking the area of the Mayer Drain and that the engineer's report on it and the Stone Drain were virtually completed and would be brought forward shortly. He asked for a list of the drains on which com- plaints had been received and his attention was drawn to the following: Stewart Drain. Cann -Morgan Award, Fletcher Drain, :McDougall Drain.

The T-1 Special is the form on which his tax would be computed, Question 37: There has been a lot of controversy as to whether farmers have to fele a net worth statement for 1947. Does it have to be filed for 1946 also? The net worth statement which was enclosed with the 1946 forms was en- closed with the understanding in our cffice that most farmers have not kept records and the net worth statement was made part of the form so that they could approach their income from the Inventory Basis rather than the Cash Basis. If the farmer can make a return from the cash basis we would insist on the filing of the net worth statement as well. In case the returns on a cash basis are satisfac- tory to the Department, they would not ask him for the net.worth state- ment. In that connection also, the amendment for 1947 returns was to the effect that if the farmer files on a cash basis he would not need to com- plete the net worth statement on page 5 of the return. On the Accrual Basis he is required to furnish the Depart- GUARANTEED epart GUARANTEED Radio Service Pick up and delivery service every Tuesday and Friday.

Considerable further discussion took place regarding the appointment of an assessor. no applications for the posi- tion having been received. Clerk Hy. Strang was asked to take the appoint- ment and agreed to do so, remunera- tion to be•on the basis of an hourly wage rate of seventy cents while en- gaged in assessing duties and mile- age at the township rate of 10 cents per mile. The ;appointment was made on motion of Councillors Brock and Simpson. Bylaw No. 3. 1948• confirm- ing appointments and fixing •salaries and wages for the year 1948 was then given second and third reading and finally passed on motion of Council- lors Tuckey and Pincombe. The road. superintendent reported that work had started on the con- struction of the machinery building and that the necessary steel and cement were on hand for the bridge on the Exeter sideroad. Council de- cided not to call for tenders on the bridge until approval of the Road Ap- prolriation By -Law had been receiv- ed from the Highways Department. The superintendent reported the de- livery of1� e dozecaster for the crawl- er tractd,.. from the Sheridan Equip- ment Co. The following correspondence was' tabled and dealt with as follows: W. H. Golding, re increased pensions to eisapled veterans: filed; Maitland Hammond, letter of appreciation for gift ring presented to him as an ex- serviceman; Navy League, appeal for financial support, no action; Thomas Yryde, M.P.P., re township appeal to the Department of Highways for aid in repairing roads damaged by trucks during the construction of a section of Highway 83, promise of assistance from the Province noted; A.

Question 40; Does the taxpayer himself value the buildings? The valuing of the building is set by the taxpayer, but it must be reas- onable in respect to the buildings that he has valued. Question 41: Would it be all right to set the price of a barn at what the insurance company would allow you? Ne. 1 don't think so. A fairer price would be ::our assessment value if yon could get it. Question 42: If you put repairs on a house, is this deductable? No, because it is not part of your depreciable assets. Question 43: If you had another house rented to someone, could• you take depreciation on that? Yes, and also expenses necessary to keep-abne=•°Ilouse in repairs. Question 44: Is it necessary to de- duct tax from day labor? That is what the law says. Tables of rates of tax to be deducted from employees are available. The rate of pay and the status of the employee are the factors which determine whe- ther or not tax should be deducted. For casual emrployees there is a spe- cial table which is calculated• differ- ently ifferently than the regular tables. Rates for casual employees are less than the regular rates for other employees. Question 45: If the employer does rot deduct this tax, is be liable for the Income Tax at the end of the year? He is. and he is also penalized. Question 46: Could not the Depart- ment get after the casual helper ra- ther than I, the employer? In the case of casual employees it would be impossible. Question 47: Am I supposed to de- duct taxes from a hired man, hired by the day? Do I have to get a receipt to show 1 paid him that much money? No. not in the case of an employee who is •not going to earn sufficient in- come to be taxable. He may file with his employer a form T.D. 1-A, which is a tax exemption claim form, and on that form he declares that because of his dependents or for some other rea- son he is not to be in receipt of suf- ficient income to be taxable. Question 48: For 1946 do I have to fill out a T-1 Special? Yes. The blue form T-1 Supplemen- tary is just a declaration of the re- ceipts and expenses. The T-1 Special, • th.e red form. is the one on which your tax, if any, is calculated. Question 49: What happens if a farmer turns half of bis farm over to his son a.s a gift. and keeps the other half, if each part of the farm is not over $4,000.00? He . is allowed gift not exceeding $4,000,00. He would pay gift tax on any amount in excess of $4,000. If this was done in two or three years, he would get around the gift tax, Question 50: How about a gift to a For Chickens • PEAT MOSS • CHICK STARTER • CHICK GRIT • CANE MOLASSES • COD LIVER OIL • .ALSO -- FERTILIZER AND GRASS SEED Carload of Wire and Steel Posts Seaforth Farmers Co-operative Mariners' Service There was a large congregation at Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening when the annual special ser- vice for mariners was_ ,held.

This latter gives you the advantage of the lowest possible tax and it may be dated back to 1946. These are direct money- saving advantages entirely to your benefit. THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE You can't lose if you take advantage ' of this. Two things are necessary to average your income over the three year period ending December 31, 1948. First your 1947 return MUST BE FILED ON TIME -that is, by April 30, 1948. Then when you file your 1948 return in 1949 you may make application to average your income for 1946-1947-1948. This averaging of income continues yearly so that in each year you are taxed only on the average of each three year period. REMEMBER — HALF CULTIVATED LAND YIELDS A POOR CROP—HALF KEPT ACCOUNTS GIVE POOR RESULTS TOO Last year Canadian farmers—and there are nearly 'a million of them— produced over $2,000,000,000 in farm produce of all kinds: No other single industry approaches agriculture in volume of production. And as in every other business—even the smallest—every farmer must file an account of his transactions with the Department of National Revenue to qualify for the many tax exemptions which are allowed.
