! The Mccall bill for refunding taxes of
j legacies paid under the war revenue act
by charita ble, benevolent, and educational
I institutions, if 1t becomes law, will return
to the Golfers of Vermont institutions quite

Senate will promptly agree to the inca
sure and that it will become a. law at this
session of Congress. The list of taxes paid

cause of certain conditions, one Of them
, being payment by the executor of admin

such taxes paid, a considerable part of
