Its the accepted custom for new editors to list all of the things they intend to do, what kind of a paper they are going to put.out,.. all kinds of long range plans and goals and policy, be it liberal, conservative or middle of the road.

you are preparing to file by April 15? ~ Department of Motor Vehicles recently said most passenger car owners with regular registrations.can détermine the deductible amount simply by subtracting $9 from the total paid lastyear on each car own-ed. See the amount on your 1966 DMV registration card. (The. new 1967 registration . cards now being issued do not contain the information you need for itemized 1966 tax records.)

The tax-deductible balance is a two per cent "in lieu” tax on the value of the vehicle, collected by the state under Revenue and Taxation Code statutes for distribution to cities and counties, It isa substitute property value tax, and therefore is deductible.
