VIRGINIA LOSSES HEAVILY
THROUGH RYAN'S MOVING,

Richmond, Va, Dec. 29.-Thomas
Ryan, who has been legal resident
OF Virginia since 1905, and who was
compelled this year to pay to the
State alone more than $235,000 in
taxes on intangible property which
had not been subjected to taxation
for eleven years, has notified the
Commissioner OF Revenue OF Nelson
County that he has transferred his
residence to Washington. ID. G..
II is estimated the transfer of Mr..
Ryan's legal residence will mean an
annual loss of $50. 900 in taxes to the
State OF Virginia and Nelson County,
where is located his great country
estate.
The collection of the Ryan taxes
wa an issue in the General Assembly
81 1916. and resulted In the enact
ment of a law allowing the State To
assess back taxes to 1908. On May
/. 1915. more than a month before
the law went into effect the State
Auditor received check for $780,
074.i3 in full payment OF back taxes
owed to the State by Mr.. Ryan. 1t
was the largest single check In pay
ment of the. State taxes ever received
