This he proceeded to do, and learned that that committee was waiting for the architect to return to town before they took any steps in the matter.

NEXT LEGISLATURE
TO ENACT NEW LAW
ExOrbitant Charges and Legal Fees Eat
Up Many Small Estates-Will Have
Public Administrator

Declaring that many small estate:
are now being squandered through ex-
orbitant charges for funeral expenses
and legal fees, the state tax commits
sion has announced that it will ask the
next legislature to enact law provid-
ing for the appointment Of public ad-
ministrator in each county. The plan
is to authorize the superior court oil
each county to make the appointment,
the appointee to be resident attorney,
who would receive a commission to be
fixed by law for administering the es-
tate. The public administrator would
take charge of all estates where no
heirs resided within the state and to
administer other estates when heirs re-
siding within the state made such re-
quest to the court. The fixing OF a
statutory commission would do away
with the double fees now necessary in
probate cases.
A further provision Of the proposed
statue would be that the public admin
istrator should be required to act in
conjunction with the tax commission
in collecting inheritance taxes from es-
tates that pass by deed in contempla-
ton of death. A large sum is lost by
the state each year in cases where
property is conveyed prior to death for
the purpose of avoiding probate. The
administrator, being on the ground and
familiar with the records, could catch
these conveyances and assist the COM
mission in collecting the tax.
One of the cases which the commits
sion found recently is an instance OF
the need that exists for some remedy.
A man died leaving $2,0OO IN cash
and no debts but funeral expenses.
The undertaken was appointed admin
istrator. After the expenses of admin
istration and funeral expenses had been
met, just $40 remained to be dis
tributed to the heirs in the east. The
commission believes that large amounts
of money would be saved to the heirs
and that thousands Of dollars of es-
cheats to the common school fund,
when no heirs were found, would be
gained under some such law as is pro-
posed.
