$1,000 Annually in Taxes!ss
Thomas Fortune Ryan, who has
been a legal resident ofe:Virginia dur
ing the past eleven years, and who
was recently compelledI5to pay to
the State alone more than $235,009
in taxes on intangible property
which had not been subjected to tax
alton during his. soiourn in Virginia.
has notified the commissioner of re-
venue of Nelson county that he has
transferred his residence to Wash.
ington, D. c.
1t is estimated that the transfer
of Mr.. Ryan's legal residence will
mean an annual loss of $4,000 in
taxes to the State of Virginia and
Nelson county,, where is located his
great country estate.
The collection of the Ryan taxes
was one of the issues that figured IN
the legislation of the general assem-
bly, of 1916.
The constitutional prohibition
against the release of any taxes by
the State finally determined the
legislature in passing law which
allowed the State to assess back
taxes to 1903, the date of the pres
ent legislation.
Mr.. Ryan made no protest. On May
1, 1916, more than month before
the law went into effect, State Au-
ditor Moore received from Trea-
surer John T. Fitzpatrick, Of Nelson
county, check for $236,074'13 in
full payment of back taxes owed
to the State by Mr.. Ryan.
1T was the largest single check IN
payment of the State taxes OF an IN
dividual received in the history OF
the auditors Office.
Mr.. Ryan under the same settle
mcnt paid to Nelson county omitted
taxes amounting to $100,l25, cover
inc the local assessments on omit
ted intangibles for 1912, 19l3 and
1914. His 1915 State assessment on
intangiblcs yielded a tax Of So6,23o.
