General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

The values of buildings so received were charged to a building account. Both cash and other property so received were credited to surplus.

Under § 113(a)(8)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, petitioner was entitled to deductions on account of depreciation on property acquired from community groups or acquired with cash received from such groups, to the extent that the property was acquired after December 31, 1920.
