Revenue
FOR State FROM
Charters IN 1915

Special to TIE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Jan. 15.-The State
Of Delaware. during the year 1915, far
excelled itself in the granting of char
ters to home and foreign corporations,
having broken all past records, since
the operation Of the General Corpora
tion Law, passed in March, 1899. both
in the number of charters filed, the
amount Of capital stock. and the State
tax from corporations. the advance in
the State tax, equalling the sensa-
tional rise Of some of the large steel
and other stocks during last year.
The report of the State Department
for the fiscal year ending January 10,
shows that the number of charters
filed during last year was over 1925,
which is an increase of more than
two hundred over the preceding year.
While the total OF all the capital
stock of the 1926 charters has not as
yet been compiled, the figure will
amount to well over a billion Of dol
lars. 1t is estimated that the total
capital stock of the corporations
whose capital stock amount to more
than S1.000,000 each, would approxi-
mately amount to S94O,3OO,000.
The treasury of Delaware has been
considerably enriched by this great in
crease in charters. as the revenue de-
rived by the State tax on the charters
filed in 1915 amounts to S1173SS.93
The revenue derived by the State from
the TAX on charters filed in 1914 was
S7S,256.57, an increase Of $39,13236.
