RULES ON TAX LAW
Board of Accounts Calls
Child Legal Stranger.

A step-daughter probably will be le-
gally a stranger to her step-mother. II
an ofiicial opinion of the state board
of accounts is upheld by Attorney
General Honan. The origin OF this
question is in Richmond.
The case came up when Nancie
Crooks, formerly resident of Olive
Hill left a bequest to her step-daugh-
ter. Today the court valued the es-
tate at $500. Under the law daugh-
ter Is entitled to $4,000 exemption in
paying Inheritance tax and her tax Is
only one per cent. The question arose
as to whether the daughter would
come under this clause.
The state board of accounts was
asked for an opinion and sent a reply
that a stepdaughter would come I'M
der the clause covering strangers
which legally means any person not a
relation. This must be upheld by the
attorney general before it Is in force
however. The stranger clause pro-
vides for an exemption of only $3.50
and taxes the Inheritance five per
cent.
