$500. and that Of the Union National

sion of s17.s02.6 Sc was ordered in the tax
bill Of the estate of John II. Ballantine.

assessment OF $50, 710.71 levied against
100 shares of Manufacturers National

cred by this board. After mature de-

sion that bank stocks should be as

1T was agreed by counsel that when
bank stock appeals were argued be-
fore this board to fix the market value
as il was on May 20. at S240. $3.50 and
$3.50 for Manufacturers, Essex County
