troller will collect is S79.s12.2l. The
total amount Of personal property Ia fxed
at S~452.lS4.22 and Of real estate At
$2.53%.S50.
It was believed that Mr.. Wendell. who
died In California on November 80. 1914,
had left an estate worth close TO S5o.0O0.-
900. but IL was found that this was about
the value OF the estate OF his father. the
late John -. Wendell. who died Novem-
Der Is. 1875, dividing the estate among
six children.
1t also developed at the hearing before
Appraiser Clark that Mr.. Wendell trans
ferred by deed to his four sisters twenty
eight parcels OF land. worth et"ee

Ease to find out whether the property was

questions o! law have appeared in the

In my opinion this has turned out 10
be one Of those estates where the present
transfer tax law is incomplete ana
deficient. I therefore respectfully
recommend tina; prompt attention be
given TO the question Of submitting
