plifv the work Of the appraisers OF the
estate, since 4. has been conceded that
the estimate o" the goodwin would be tho
mos dii,icu.. feature of the appraisal.
Surrogate Fowler had before him the
appeal by state Comptroller Sohmcr
from the transfer tax appraisal Of the
estate Of George Frederick Victor OF
t'rejeriol< Victor & Achelis, who died on
January 20. 1910. The firm was cstab-
lished in lsil and ~ the time of Mr..
Nietors death was making large profits.
Its goodwill accordingly was a valuable
asset.
The Surrogate finds that a. the time
the last partnership agreement was eN-
eCuted hv the members of the firm II
was provided that the goodwill was to
become the property of the surviving
partners in case of the death of any
member OF the firm. For this reason.
the Surrogate says, the executors Of Mr..
Nictor's estate had no right or interest
In ii and the estate cannot be taxed on II.
The State Comptroller Contended that
even If the goodwill did become the
property of the surviving members 1t
constituted gift by the decedent to his
partners. The Surrogate says that the
| evidence shows sufficiently that the pos
| session Of the goodwill was "A right
| which accrued to the surviving members
Of the firm by virtue OF the partnership
agreement.
The terms OF the partnership agree
ment in the firm of j. +. Morgan & Co.
| have never been made known, but un-
| der Surrogate Fowler's decision any pro-
| vision Of the agreement concerning the
| passing of the goodwill to the surviving
| partners makes 1t likely that the state
| Will lose thousands of dollars from the
tax on the Morgan estate.
An effort last night to learn whether
the agreement signed by the Morgan
partners provides for the passing OF the
goodwill to the surviving members
| brought the statement that the terms
are not likely 10 be made known until
they are exhibited TO the appraiser of
the estate.
Thomas T.. Rush. attorney for the
State Comptroller. had received no ap-
pication up 10 Yesterday from the Nor
gan executors to release any part of the
estate pending the appraisal, and the
executors had not applied in the Surro-
gates office for the designation OF a
tinnsfer tax appraiser. 1t is understood
that the application will not be made
until some agreement has been reached
as to the special attorney 10 be desig
mated by the State Comptroller to rep
