Chlorine Problem Now mat the swimming season is over, the Fire Inspectors Association of Suffolk County would like to suggest to all pool owners that they store their chlorine very carefully. If at all possible do not store in your home. If you have an outbuilding or shed, that is the place for it. It should be in an air tight container and if possible, away from combustibles. Chlorine reacts spontaniously with many common items in- cluding moisture. This reaction can be of a heating nature causing a fire or the generation of a toxic gas which in con- centrations as small as 50 PPM (parts per million) can be dangerous for even short ex- posures. '- :;> :, THE MAN WHO BELIEVES GOVERNMENT CAN WORK FOR YW.. IS THE MAN WHO IS MAKING IT HAPPEN! By MARJORIE W. CARMAN Gregory Sosa Agency MOVING EXPENSE TAX DEDUCTIONS Prior to 1970, your moving expense tax deduction was limited to the cost of tran- sporting your household goods and family tran- sportation costs for the move f including food and lodging]* Little by little, other ex- penses of making the move were added to the deductible expense list. Now they have been liberalized even more with the 1976 tax reform bill. Effective in 1977, here is how the new scoreboard reads. You can deduct up to $3,000 for the cost of real estate commissions, mortgage costs and similar items incurred in buying or selling your home or settling a lease. Of this 13,000 total - one half [or up to $1,500] * may be deducted for ex- penses incurred for pre- move house-hunting ex- penses as well as temporary living expenses for up to 30 days at your new location. These benefits apply to tin* self-employed as well as employees. In order to qualify for this moving expense deduction, the reason for the move must be a Job change and the new job site must be at least 35 miles away. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please call on the dependable people at the GREGORY SOSA AGENCY, 291 Conklin St., Phone 249- 0321.
