THE TRUST COMPANY TAX.


ALBANY. July 9.-Thc now trust COM
panN tax law Is i'll operation. Comptrol-
Ter Knight has received n number of re-
ports from trust companies showing the
financial statistics on which will be
based the first annual tax of / per cent to
be imposed under the new law This law,
which was passed by the last legislature.
provides that the tax shall he imposed on
the capital. the surplus and the undivided
profits of each corporation. Two of the
largest trust companies in the state are
among those from which reports have
been received.
The Mercantile Trust company of New
York will pay n tax of S6JOOO and the
Morton Trust company Il tax of 9.O0C
for the first tax year. The estimate was
made when the trust company tax law
was passed that it would bring in a rove
nue. of 81 100000 for the year. hut the
indications are that it will Ice over ST.
GOO,OOO. or the sum collected. however,
rebate of about $4,000 will have to he
made as the trust companies under the
old law had paid their taxes up to Dec. /,
1901, and the new law created the new
tax year as July l. The rebate will be
made to avoid double taxation. Comp
troller Knight is greatly gratified at the
showing made by the new law. 1t will
bring in n revenue of over 81 ,OOO, 900 per

Admiral CrowniuShield states that he
wrote the dispatch in the White House
and submitted it to both Attorney Gen.
