GIVES TWO OPINIONS
New Bonds Are Exempt from Taxa
tion-Reserve is Also Non Taxable.

Attorney General Light gave an opin-
ion Wednesday on the taxation OF state
bonds which is of general interest at
present in view of the fact that bonds
to the amount of 100000 will be Of
fered for sale by the state treasurer on
Thursday. The opinion. after alluding
to the question raised by prospective
bond buyers as TO whether such bonds
would be exempt from taxation when
held by savings banks under section
2422 of the general statutes. unless
issued in aid of the construction of
some railroad, says;
Il am of the opinion that said state
bonds when held by savings banks
and others, except corporations taxed
under the provision of section 1881 Of
the general statutes. are exempt from
taxation"
An opinion was rendered by At
torney General Light Wednesday %
State Forester Samuel y Spring in
reference to the taxation OF forest
lands. He says in part
IF a tract of land containing sew
eraI acres is planted with forest trees
in conformity to said law, section one
chapter POS. public acts of 1911, and
TN exemption duly attained and af-
terword a part of such tract be sold
or used for other purposes ] am of
the opinion that the land retained as
a wood or timber lot would bo ex
empt from taxation provided it con-
sists of one acres or more.
