Carless days
Sir, — Mark Taylor (November 19) is right in his criticism of earless days.
The comedy scene of the year must surely be members of the several cars fraternity driving off to their chosen pastime any day of the week, while the one-car man is cycling, bussing or walking to his job and contributing towards their superannuation. A more serious aspect is that a great number of the cars owned by the affluent have been acquired and used as a tax-deductible item. Most ordinary people do not benefit from this type of _ perk. Because of the real inconvenience of the earless day, many have bought cycles for $2OO, or motor-cycles for considerably more plus expenses. Are these “not budgeted for” items going to be considered for tax deduction? — Yours, etc., J. DYER. November 26, 1979.
