Rugg appeared before the Board Of Tax
Appeal at Boston and argued the mat

The Crompton * Knowles Loom
Works was last year changed from a
Rhode Island Corporation to Massa-
chusetts corporation. The laws provide
that stock in a corporation owned by a
citizen will give the city in which he
resides a proportionate share of the
CORPORATION tax.
1t has been held, however, In the past
that home corporation has no legal
residence and therefore the city would
receive no part of the corporation tax
c. H, Hutchins holds as trustee of the
Loom Works II, 40 shares and City So

should get its tax on these shares
which would amount to between $4,000
and $4,000 The attorney general

with the admiral in the ordeal through
