AST0R WIDOW FIGHTS TAX
Wants 34th Street Property
Exempt from State Impost.

Mrs. Madeleine Talmage Force Aston
widow of Colonel John Jacob Aston asked
the Surrogates' Court yesterday TO remit
the transfer tax report on the estate OF
her husband to John Y. Coggey the APP
praiser so that testimony might be taken
on her contention that her interest in GER
tain real estate left by Colonel Astor
should be declared exempt from taxation
She asserts II was included in the trust
deed made for her benefit as part of the
ante-nuptial agreement.
The property is No. q to Is and Nos ~
and 30 West 3ith street A value OF
Sl,094ll3 was placed on the interest OF
Mrs. Astor in this realty, and the APP
praiser fixed the tax at s39.342. Mrs. AS
tors contention is that her interest in the
property under the ante-nuptlal agree
ment constitutes a debt and is not tax
able.
Mrs. Aston said In her petition, which
will come up for argument to-day before
Surrogate Cohalan, that while the tax
proceedings were on there was an Under
standing between her attorney. former
Justice Henry a. Gldersleeye, and Vim
cent Aston. Douglas Robinson. James
Roosevelt Roosevelt and Nicholas Biddle
executors of the estate, that she should
pay legal proportion OF the tax. After
the appraisers report was filed the ex-
ecutors claimed from her s393i2 as her
share Of the tax paid to the state for tho
property Mrs Astor then made an In
vestigation through her attorney ana do
cided that the demand grew out of a
mistake by the appraiser

PHILADELPHIA
WANTS SUBWAYS
Would Tunnel Broad Street at
Cost Of Millions.
EXPLAIN TO LEGISLATORS
Would Take Three Years to Construct
Tube and Estimate First Years Net
Revenue at $1,7oo,ooo.


Philadelphia, April ia subway
under Broad street, extending from Oh
ney avenue to Oregon avenue, fully
ten miles, with an extension to League
Island, the whole to cost an outside
total of s42,725,OO0, is provided for In
the transportation plans worked out
under the direction of A. Merritt Tay-
lor, Philadelphia's transit commits
sioner.
Of this amount Philadelphia would
pay 34,725,O00 and the lessee of the
line would have to pay $S,OO0.O00 for
equipment.
The scope of the plans was outlined
in letter from Mr.. Taylor to the
mayor, which was read by Director OF
Public Works Cooke at the pubic
hearing in the mayors Office, which
was held at the request of a sub-com-
mittee of the house ways and means
committee of the state legislature.
It was estimated, in this letter,
which was in the nature of preliml.
nary report, that the subway could be
built in three years. The first year OF
operation of the entire Broad street
tube would yield, according to Mr..
Taylor's figures, s1,700,000 net income.
Savings effected by the expenditure
of only part of the total outlay at
time Mr. Taylor estimates, would cut
down the actual expenditure to ap-
proximately SAL 100000.
The transit plans include the con
struction of IL" lines to Darby and
Frankford.
The entire plan depends upon the
passage by the legislature of the en-
abling bills prepared by John G. John,
son, particularly of the measure that
would make the personal property
tax, which is now an asset of the state.
an asset of the county. This would
give the city cash revenue OF ap-
proximately s640.000 annually. and
