LIABILITY
OF HOLDERS
OF STOCK.

An important matter regarding the la
bility OF stockholders for taxes on stock
In corporations doing business I'm this
state but liable to taxation in the state
where It is located was heard before the
appellate division of the supreme court
today
Four cases were involved all against the
tax assessors OF Providence and the
plaintiffs were Rhode Island hospital
Trust company. trustee for Louise L.
Peck and others and trustee for Stella NJ
A. Wilcox; The Union Trust company
trustee for Louise l.. Peck and others
and Louise l.. Peck qua rdian.
Each Of the appellants represents stock
holders OF the United Traction and Elec-
trio company and the American Woblen
company, both New Jersey corporations
and paid taxes last year In that state,
$3.50 in the case OF the former company
and $6225 for the latter.
The legal question involves the con-
struction OF the latter part OF chapter a.
section 10 OF the General Laws which
reads: provided that no stockholder
shall be liable 10 taxation for shares held
i'm any corporation without this state
which Is. or the shares In which are, lia'
/ ble TO taxation In the state where such
! corporation II located"
The appellants contend that the assess
nent regarding these shares OF stock wa'
void because the corporations. were no
only liable 20 taxation. but actually paid
A tax imposed by the statutes OF New
Jersey where each is located.
The defendants claim that the taxation
! meant by the Rhode Island statute is
| taxation OF real or personal property. an'
not simply n license fee or corporation
tax az the statutes OF New Jersey call
a. In this case they claim the shares d
not come within the exemption OF tn
