Agreement Between Trustees
and State Officials on
Transfer Tax.

Trustees of the estate OF the late j.
Pierpont Morgan and representatives OF
the State Comptrolers office reached an
agreement yesterday to have Joseph =.
Day appraise the real property In the es-
tate and to accept that appraisal as the
amount on which the estate will pay a
transfer tax. This Is the method en-
ployed In finding the value of the Astor
estate after the death OF John Jacob Aston.
and It was thought to be so successful
that II Is likely to be employed in the flu
ture where large estates are involved.
The property of the Morgan estate of
which the value must be found consists of
forty-elght parcels located in Manhattan,
The Bronx. Yonkers. at Highland Falls
and In the Adirondacks. They are as
sessed for purposes OF taxation at upward
OF s3.7s5.050. Mr.. Morgsn's former resi-
dence at the northeast corner of Madison

dence OF J. i. Morgan. Jr.. at the south

Mrs Satterlee, Mr.. Morgan's daughter,
next to the Morgan library on Thirty
sixth street. and the banking house of
J. p. Morgan & Co. are not included in the
list OF properties on which a tax will be
paid.
Mrs. Morgan has a life interest In the
financer's former home, which releases il,

The appraisal OF Mr.. Morgan's real cs-
tate and art collection will be started at
once and It is expected that within a
month the work will be completed.

holdings were made known by Lewis Cas-
Ledyard, Jr.. 1t was not supposed that the

to have been large property owner. he
was not by any means among the largest
holders in the city. What he owned he
purchased many years ago or obtained
through inheritance.

tate the most valuable is the family
