TAX HELPERS ARE
/. CHOSEN BY LUCEY
Lawyers Picked to Aid in Col
lecting Levy on Inheritances
in Illinois.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-Attorney
General P ]. Lucey in beginning new
system of inheritance tax collection,
through a special appropriation pro-
vided by the last legislature, is ap
pointing attorneys who shall act reg
ularly on Inheritance tax matters. in
certain sections of the state.

an annual salary of $4,000. The at

will receive a much larger sum of
money than heretofore from this
source.
Results of the operation of the new
plan will be watched with interest, and

rection, it is believed, through re-
cent decision of the supreme court of
the United States, under which in
yestigators will be permitted to in
spect contents of safety deposit boxes
before they are turn ed over to execu-
tors or administrators of the estates
of deceased persons.
In Cook county a branch of the at
torney generals Office has charge of
al the inheritance tax matters, and
the special employment of attorneys
is confined to downstate counties.
Special attorneys named by the at
torney general, their residences and
the counties comprising the districts
in which they will operate, are:
F. J. Burns, ankakee-Kankakee |
Iroquois, Livingston, Ford and Nc
Lean.
George F. Belford, Streator-Winne- |
