at New London.

Judge Colt in the probate court at
New London has decided that the city
Of New London is not liable to the
state inheritance tax on the bequest of

the state. the trustees of the Lawrence
estate will turn over the tax. which

counting in the Lawrence estate
Judge Colt in his decision held that
the state could not tax itself and that
the city was the state. The decision
is based ON a decision of the supreme
court of the state of Colorado in re-
gard to Mackay's estate, which is
similar case.
Either party cab appeal from Judge
Colts decision. The office of the
secretary of the state has been mott
fed of the decision and viii have ten

peal. If it is deemed advisable to APP
peal, the appeal will go before the

taken.
