About Tax Laws
Court.
From the Elmer Times.

rom the Elmer Times.
The Times has received from Thomas
b. Usher, Secretary of the State Board
of Taxation, a bound copy of the New
Jersey tax laws, Revision of 1903, which
contains considerable data as to the
duties of taxing officials, but which is
with all its virtues a very incomplete
guide. 1t is complete so far as it ap-
plies to what is known as the new tax
law now in operation, as passed i'll 1903.
The incompleteness as a whole lies in
the fact that while about 1876 laws, sup
PIGMENTS, or different tax Acts, en-
acted from 1916 to 1902, were repealed.
there are about 40 Acts and supple
ments not repealed, 8 acts or supple
ments not wholly repealed, and I acts
not repealed but rendered imperative
by the law of 1908.
We do not find any fault with the
state Board for not sitting from all
this mass, material for a book of in
structions covering every phase of the
tax laws now existing but deem it I'M
fortunate that the law of 1903 did not
include all the vital points of former
acts which it was desired to retain, ex-
cept the Martin Act, Railroad and
Franchise Acts which properly belong
perhaps III a class by themselves.
we have not seen as yet from any
state department a pamphlet or book
OF instructions which taken by itself
gives a complete outline of the duties
OF a township or borough collector.
lhey are Instructed very fully as to the
duties required by the act of 1903 but
when it is remembered that 40 acts or
supplements were not repealed, it can
be seen that there is considerable to
know beside that found in the last law.

Court I'm Session Yesterday

The Cape May County Circuit Court
was in session yesterday at Court
House and two cases from Wildwood
were heard. Circuit Court Judge Al
len b. Endlcott presided. The case of
r. w. Ryan VS.. Jonas Il. Lundquist,
in land and tenant proceedings was
tried. This Ease involves a house in
Holly Beach which vas built by Mr..
Lundquist and upon which he secured
a loan on first mortgage from the Five
Mile Beach Building and Loan Associ-
alton. He did not keep his payments
up and to save foreclosure proceedings
the property was sold to Mr.. Ryan by
Mr.. Lundquist, the former satisfying
the claims of the association. An
agreement was drawn up and signed
by the interested parties and a deed
for the property delivered to Mr.. Ryan.
This agreement contained a provision
allowing Mr.. Lundquist If he so de-
sired to buy back the property inside
of a year by paying to Mr.. Ryan the
purchase price and an amount equal
to hat expended for repairs. 1t trans
pires that under a technical point of
law this agreement was regarded as a
mortgage and that ownership of the
house was not vested in Mr.. Ryan, al
tho ugh he held a deed for the property.
Curtis I. Baker, Esq, son of Hon.
Philip p. Baker, represented Mr.. Ryan
and Editor Matthew Jefferson, of Sea
Isle City, was Mr.. Lundquist's lawyer.
Among the witnesses for Mr.. Ryan
were John n. Reeve, secretary of the
Five Mile Beach Building and Loan
Association and f. d. Schell. The
court directed the jury to find a verdict
for Mr.. Ryan and give him possession
of the house. The jury retired yester-
day afternoon and had not come to a
decision at noon today. Report has it
that three of the jurymen favored Mr..
Ryan and nine held out for Mr.. Lund-
quist.
Another case heard was that of C.
w. P%ettibone, complainant, against
Robert Wright and John G. Colsey.
The latter is a resident of Camden and
the claim vas for a balance of some
thing over 500 for plumbing done IN
Mr.. Colsey's cottage on Atlantic ave-
nue., formerly the Birkbeck cottage.
Douglass & Douglass represented Mr..
pettibone and Judoa Voorhees, uos tho
lawyer for Wright and Colsey. 1t ap-
peared that Pettibone liened the house
for the amount of the bill, but not
within the time required by law. The
jury decided hat Mr.. Pettibone was
not entitled to his claim.
All other cases were either settled or
were deferred until the next term of
Court.

WHEATON WILL UPHELD
BY CHANCELLOR Magic
SUSTAINED IN PREROGATIYE COURT
Decision of Judge Voorhees, In
the Cape May County Orphans
Court Stands. May be APP
pealed Still Higher.

Chancellor William j. Magic rem
dered an opinion in the P~rerogative
Court of New Jersey at Trenton on
Friday of last week sustaining the
opinion rendered by Judge VOORHEES, III
the Cape May County Orphans Court
last June in the celebrated Philip NJ.
Wheaton will case. In early life Mr..
Wheaton was a sea captain and later
conducted a ship chandler store III
Philadelphia. Mr.. Wheaton died at
Ocean City in June, 1902, leaving an
estate valued at 500, 900. He was sur
vived by a widow, who was his second
wife. By the latter marriage Mr..
Wheaton had no children. BY the
terms of his will Mr.. Wheaton left his
wife the home in which they lived in
Ocean City and also an income OF S1200
a year during her life; in case of her
again marrying this income was TO
cease. In his will Mr.. Wheaton re-
membered in a substantial way all of
his nephews and nieces except one or
two, but the greater part of his fortune
was left to his only child, May Steel
man, a daughter by his first wife, who
at the time of her marriage was given
by her uncle $4,000 in cash as a we'd
ding present. The widow contested
the will upon the grounds that he was
a monomanic with a special aversion
toward her. Eminent counsel was EN-
gagged by Mrs. Wheaton in her efforts
to break the will and in the frequent
sittings before Judge Voorhees, nearly
5000 pages of testimony was taken.
The case become of great prominence
by reason of the medical experts en-
gagged, including such celebrities as DR..
Evans and DIR. Prickett. The outcome
was that Judge Voorhees, sustained
the will and ordered it p~robated. Then
the appeal was taken to the Preroga-
tive Court with the result that Judge
Voorhees, opinion is sustained. 1t is
possible that Mrs. Wheaton may carry
the cast still higher and appeal to the
Court of Errors and Appeals, but it is
thought probable that she will not do
SO.
During the past two years while this
will has been in dispute $lOO, 900 in cash
belonging to the estate has been de-
posted in bank, divided equally be-
tween the Marine National Bank, of
Wildwood and the First National, of
Ocean City. During this interval Mrs.
Wheaton's attorneys made an effort to
have the money deposited in ten sep
arate banks, which Judge Voorhees,
declined to allow. This money de-
posted in the Wildwood and Ocean
City banks is drawing three per cent.
interest for the estate.
