Cleveland Tax Etuht.

The testimony of John ~. Rockefeilcr
in support of his contention that he is n
resident of his state and not of Cleve-
land, Ohio. will be taken to-day at his
home in Pocantico Hills. Upon the judy
mcnt of an ohio court "a to his residence
depends the result OF Cleveland's attempt
to make him pay a personal property
tax ofSi. 100000.
1t all grew out of Mr.. Rockefeller's
stay in his home in Cleveland in 1918.
lie went out there to spend the summer.
as had been his custom for many years.
but his stay lasted for more than seven
months. As there Is a law making q
person who lives in the county that
length OF time a resident Of Cleveland
and therefore subject to the personal
property tax. the Cleveland tax authors
ties insisted that Mr.. Rockefeller should
pay this tax.
They assessed his personal property at
u trife over s3iI 900. ooO and demanded
that he pay a tax upon IL. He refused
and then went to court to get an ir-
junction 20 prevent the collection OF the
tax.
Now he Is trying to have the injunc-
made permanent and the Cleveland
court mas appointed a commissioner To
take Mr.. Rockefeller's testimony in ro-
gard to his residence.
