RIG REFUND OF TAXES.
Decision in Regard to Requests Prior

-ae,,1t from a decision Of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue to-day that under the act Oh
June q. 1902. which repealed the war revenue
act the tax on a bequest or legacy does not lie
except where the beneficiary came into actual
nossession and enjoyment of the property De-
oueathed prior to the passage OF the act OF

This reverses the practice of the Internal

and collected regardless of whether the oene-
Aciaries came into the enjoyment OF the prop
erty before or after the war revenue act was
repealed.
