-WASHINGTON, March -16. UP. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued a report today estimating that steam railways had put off doing 066 worth of needed maintenance work on their properties. The report, based on returns from railway officials, said the deferred maintenance estimate was. on an assumption that traffic volume as large as that of 1937 was in prospect.
The report indicated that, $495,4 757,106 should be expended dur. ing the three- period, 1939- 1941, for additions, betterments, and extensions to enable the car. riers to handle traffic more cheaply or expeditiously. These amounts aggregating deferred mainte nance plus requirements for additions, betterments and extensions are in addition to normal maintenance. The report said that of the $283,820,066 shown as deferred maintenance there should be spent during the 1939-1941 period a total of $221,027,268, For $73.
675,756 as an annual average. "It appears that the deferred maintenance, need, not all be made up in the next three years." the report said. "Adding this annual amount for deferred maintenance to the annual requirement for additions, betterment and extensions, gives the sum which steam railway. officials say they should spend as an annual average in the next three years above normal maintenance with a traffic volume of 1937 as $238,928,125, or a total of $716,784,374 for the three- year period. total must be taken as conservative.
It does not represent all the work the railway managers would like to do they had the money' to bring the properties to a high engineering standard." A traffic 10 per cent greater than 1937, the railway officials said, would increase, the estimate of deferred maintenance by 851,730, to a total of $378,671,796, and would increase the amount for additions, betterments and extensions by $19,990,825, to a total of $515,747,931 for the 1939-1941 period. Woman Errs in Paying U.S. Cent Income Tax NEW YORK, -That March -Woman who (P) paid the Government penny income tax can call any time and get her money back. John McNamara, Assistant U. S.
Internal Revenue Collector, said the woman, who had an Income of $1300, laborlously worked over her report yesterday- and figured exemptions reduced her net taxable Income to 25 cents. She took per cent of that, paid penny and departed in triumph. McNamara, scanning her report later, said she apparently had misunderstood all the Instructions. Had she filled out the return properly, he said, her tax would have amounted fo exactly one cent less than she paid.
