Depreciation Policy} The policy of company and subsidiaries consolidated with respect to provision for depreciation, depletion end amortization of physical properties was changed during 1947 to conform to basis ac cepted by Bureau of Internal Revenue In connection with final settlement of company's income tax liability for years 1937 to 1945, incl., and is in general as follows:
Except as noted below, depreciation is com puted on basis of amortizing cost of each property unit over its estimated remaining useful life as determined by independent en gineers from a review and survey of depreci able properties of the companies.
Depletion of gas properties is computed on straight-line method on cost over the esti mated gas content of leased or owned prop erties.
Amortization of leased machinery is com puted on basis of period of license or lease.
No depreciation is provided on molds (see footnote 3) under Consolidated Income Ac count).
Depreciation of dies for metal products is computed on straight-line method over esti mated useful life of the dies.
Average over-all rates for year ended Dec. 31, 1918 are as follows: Lana improvements, 3.79%; buildings, 2.87%; machinery and equip ment, 5.82%; motor trucks and cars, 16.05%; dies--m etal products, 20%: leased machinery, 20% . General Notes
(a) Consolidated statements include all sub sidiaries a n d . such subsidiaries are whollyowned.
(b) Company's equity in net assets of sub sidiaries consolidated at Dec. 31,1948 as shown by books of latter, was $1,488,643 less than company's investment in such subsidiaries, as shown by company's books.
