Railroad Companies Must Pay
Tax On All Receipts.

Attorney General Bryan Monday gave
an opinion to State Tax Commissioner
Schley, in which he says that the fran
chise tax on the gross receipts of railroad
companies is to be paid on all moneys re-
ceived by the companies from whatever
source, including that for carrying the
mail
Mr.. Bryan also gave an opinion to the
effect that the tax on securities held in
trust are payable at the residence of the
beneficiary. where both beneficiary and
trustee reside within the State. Where
the beneficiary resides outside the State
the Attorney General says, the tax is pay
able at the residence of the trustee. If
both trustee and beneficiary are non-resi-
dents the tax is to be paid at the office of
the corporation.
Mr.. Bryan also gave an opinion to the
effect that gas mains are taxable in the
same manner as real estate; that is, where
ever they were situated.
To State Treasurer Vandiver Mr.. Bry.
an gave an opinion in which he holds that
the per cent, consolidated bonds of the
United Railways and Electric Company
are not first liens on the company, but
that they are first mortgage bonds of the
company issuing them, and therefore may
be received by the treasurer as deposits
By insurance and fiduciary companies.
