SEATS ON 'CHANGE TAXABLE.
Justice Beekman So Decides Even in the Case

Justice Beekman So Decides Even In the Case
OF Non-Residents.
Justice Beekman in tho Supreme Court yes
terday handed down a decision holding that q
seat in the New York Stock Exchange is subject
to taxation. He holds that this is true even
when the holder is a nonresident. This decision
was rendered in o suit brought by the Receiver
OF Taxes against William 8. Brigham. who was
invested by him In his business in this city,
which is that of q stock broker. Mr.. Brigham
lives in New Providence. NJ.
In the decision Justice Beekman says:
1T is a matter of common knowledge that
these seats are Of large pecuniary value, and
for many years have been freely sold and trans
ferred for large sums Of money with tho sane
ton of the Exchange. which is never unreason-
ably withheld. The decisions holding these
rights, which may be thus bought and sold. to
be property certainly seem to be supported by
sound reason.
Tho respondent, however. contends that the
vested in business. In this I think that 10 ia
mistaken. The statute under which the tax in
question has been imposed provides that nom
residents doing business in this State shall DO
manner in said business. the same as II they
were residents Of this State"
In regard to the decision, the following state
ment was made yesterday by Francis L. Eames,
President Of the Exchange:
when seats on the Exchange were made
transferable in 1889 or 1870 there was an effort
e Tsqy case the eco Court held that they Could ID not
be taxed as they were not personal property
The seats give privileges only to go on tho
floor"
Mr.. Eames said that 1t was not the duty OF the
Exchange to take up this case, but q matter for
the persons who are taxed.

all their relatives and friends expressed great
establishment when they learned of the mar
riage. On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Furgueson ac-
guaintcd his father!n.law with the situation.
He exhibited q certificate Of the marriage,

In this town. Post Office Inspectors Deryoa

offered to mako good the shortage with individ-
ual checks of citizens of the town. which he
said he took In the way OF business connected
with the Office, but the inspectors would not ac-
cept them. He then went out among his friends
and raised the money. but when he rendered it
to tho inspectors he was informed that it was
too late: that the report had been sent to tho
department al Washington.
Tallman was born and brought up in this viii
lage. and has a wife and family living here.
Seven years ago, when he went into politics, no
was conducting a successful business In town
and had the respect, OF his neighbors.. To q Ger.
tain extent he has the sympathies OF his fellow
citizens, who believe that during his occupancy
of the office and before, he has been bled by the
machine politicians that are running Rockland
county for what there Ia in it. Tallman, who was
appointed by President Harrison, has always
been called IA machine politician. The new ap.
pOintee has never been active in politics. but has
been called IA Goo Goo" The appointment Is
far from satisfactory to the business men of tho
town.
