For Reimbursement.

New York, Aug. 25.-1he recent de-
cision of Judge Taft of Ohio that only
the equity Of certain mortgages is
taxable, and not the full face of the

reimbursement have be=n filed. Coi-
lector Treat, ol5 the Second internal
revenue district, today received a
ruling from Washington that where
parties purchase property knowing the
same to be subject to
mortgage, the mortgage is as
sume1 by the purchaser, unless in
the deed or by other writings it is ex-

is net assumed. The department has
ruled that in the absence of such stip-
ulaticn the FAX must be paid upon the
full value of the property conveyed.
