Marshall Fields Estate.

The three-cornered controversy be-
tween the Board OF Review, the execu.
tors of the Marshall Field estate and the
Chicago corporation counsePs Office came
to an end Wednesday, when the taxing
body decided that the Field estate
should be taxed total OF $3.50, 600, OOO
this year, including back taxes. The
decision means that the executors OF the
estate will be compelled to pay the
country 100000, which is more than
the total amount of property on which
Mr.. Field was taxed during the last
year OF his life. The greater part of this
sum is to come from the collection OF
back taxes, on WHICH Mr.. Field is held
by the board to have escaped payment.
The members of the board estimated the
back taxes without any authentic figures
to guide them. The President of the
board, + w. Upham, held that the
board should fix the amount of property
upon which taxes had not been collected
since 1899 at an average of $40, 600, 900
a year, amounting to slO5, 900, 600 ioT
the seven years. To this sum will be
added 10 per cent. fixed by the law, to
be collected in al cases OF this kind.
This interest amounts TO 1892, 900 The
personal property upon which the es-
tate shall be compelled TO pay taxes for
this year was placed at $25, 900, 600.
