The case of the collateral Inheritance tax
in the estate of Joseph Farwell of Unity
was continued to Monday, when hearing
was held Arthur S. Littlefield of Rock
land appeared for the estate. The law pro-
vides tax of 2 IL per cent on all collateral
inheritances, after deducting $500 from each
bequest. In this case the question arose as
to whether or not certain requests to heirs
of the original devses should be considered
as one or separate requests. The judge
ruled that such requests should be consider
ed as one, and computed the tax accordingly.
The tax against the various heirs amounts in
the aggregate to 81 ,44O so.
