BOWd0in Liable
to Inheritance Tax.

Boston. June 21.--The full bench OF
the supreme judicial court has decided
that the residue of the estate of the
late John o, Coombs. q well-known
lawyer, amounting to about 100000
and which eventually goes to Bowdoin
College is subject to ali inheritance
tax of $4,000 in Massachusetts.
When Bowdoin College was charter
ed in 1894 by the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts, the state of Maine was
part of this commonwealth and was
not set off as separate state until
1919. The college therefore claimed
that the Massachusetts statute OF 1885
and all other accounts exempting edu-
cational institutions tiom taxation was
applicable to Bowdoih College. A
similar question WIS settled by the
court in the case of Rice VS.. Bradford,
in which it was held that Bowdoin
College was liable to taxation in Mas
sachusetts. but in that case no refer
ence was made to the statute of 1886,
which the respondent contended had
been overlooked and had an important
bearing on the point of issue
The full court holds that Bowdoin
College after the separation of Maine
from Massachusetts ceased to be an
institution incorporated within this
commonwealth within the meaning of
the revised statutes.
