APPRAISAL AND
INHERITANCE TAX

WaEnllHWUt i'm
In the matter of the estate of Ju'ia
Anthem Patty, a somewhat peculiar
state of affairs is described by A. T.
Brock in an affidavit filed in the Cir
cult Court yesterday. Brock says
that himself, E. H. Wodehouse and
W. f Sims were appointed -. APP
praise the personal estate of the de-
cedent July II, 1905. Before the ap-
praisers could get together and ap-
praise the estate, Brock went to the
coast and didn't get back until Oc-
tober 8, 1905. Meanwhile Wodehouse
had gone to the coast and did not get
back until November, 1905. Then
some of the heirs were out of the Ter
ritory. Then Sims went to the coast
in November, 1906. Then John Mar
callino was appointed in Sims place.
Meanwhile the personal property of
the deceased had been divided up
among the heirs and the appraisers
had a lot of trouble, apparently, to get
the property together again so it
could be appraised. Finally they ap-
praised it and made their report De-
cember 81, 1906, but meanwhile the
eighteen months since their appoint
ment slipped away and terminated De-
cember II, 1906. The personal property
is described as consisting of jewelry,
furniture, sugar stocks, etc.
The matter is of Importance because
of the Inheritance tax which must be
paid.
INTERESTING QUESTION.
M. T. Simonton, as master, has filed
a report in the matter of the estate
of Antoine Rodriques, deceased, with
Judge Lindsay touching the question
of what the principal of the estate
consisted of up to and including De-
cember 81, 1906. The estate is an old
one and a former executor of the will
proved insolvent and legal proceed
ings had to be prosecuted to collect
from his bondsmen. The estate is small
but some interesting questions are
raised in the report.
