NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-State Comp
troller Sohmer is preparing for
legal battle for the collection of the
transfer tax of about 100000 from
the executors OF the estate OF Ben
jamin Altman. Notwithstanding the
charitable nature Of the Altman
Foundation. officials OF the Deputy
Comptroller In this city say that de-
mand will be made for the payment
of the full amount Of the tax.
The portion OF the estate that Will
go to the foundation Is estimated at
between $25,OO0.0OO and 30,OOO.OOo.
The inheritance tax on estates In ex'
cess Of million Is 4 per cent.
Consultations have taken place In
the Office OF Deputy State Comptroller
Wallace s. Frazer, but nothing Will
be done until the estate Is reported
there for appraisal.

FORESTS PASS
TO DISTRICT TWO
OFFICIAL TRANSFER OF AREAS IN
MICHIGAN AND MINNESOTA
BECOMES EFFECTIVE.

Yesterday field district No. 1 of the
forest service officially parted COM
pany with foul of it's national forests.
The announcement that this change
was to be made February / was made
in he Muscular some time ago, the
reasons assigned for the transfer be-
ing hat the administration of the for
ests in question, the Marquette and
Michigan forests in Michigan and the
--innesota and Superior forests in
Minnesota, could be carried on more
economically from the headquarters
Of field district No. 2 at Denver; also,
that their transfer to district No. 2
b tier equalized the volume of work
Of the two district organizations and
at the same time took little of income
value away from this field.
The total areas of the forests is
about 500, 900 acres. The Superior is
the largest. It is covered with numer-
Gus lakes and contains little timber
of value. The work there is mostly
to provide canoe fire patrol n pro-
tect the young growth.
The Minnesota forest is mostly all
Indian land but by agreement be-
tween the departments the timber is
being cut under the joint supervision
of the forest service and Indian de-
partment. When the cutting is com
pleted the money from the sale of the
timber goes to the Indians and the
government buys the land and turns
it over to the forest service for ad-
ministration. Only 10 per cent of the
timber, for seed purposes, is to be
left on the land.
The Michigan and Marquette forests
are both comparatively small tracts in
Northern tMichigan<and are reserved
mostly for experimental purposes, the
service intending to reclaim the sand
plains with Scotch and Austrian pine.
A nursery for the propagation of these
species, which seem to be the only
rnes adaptable to this soil.
On the whole this district loses very
little in the passing of these four
forests except the chance to work out
some of these problems and this can
be handled more directly from the
headquarters of district No. -
