ant changes in the inheritance tax
rate in the revenue bill were made to-
day by the senate finance committee.
They were

beneficiary of the estate instead OF
being paid out OF the net value OF the
, estate itself.
| 2. The tax will be imposed upon
every estate whose gross value ex-
tceeds $4,000 instead of $50 0oo. as
| fixed by the house bill.
:, The committee adopted these
changes in the principle of the tax,
but did not agree upon the specific
rates to be fixed upon estates from
$4,000 upwards.
| The house bill imposed tax of 3
per cent on the amount of Aihe net
estate in excess OF $4,000 with a
graduated scale UP to 10 per cent on
estates over 5000. geo. The rates
to be fixed by the senate committee
probably will be lower OF account OF
| the lowering OF the minimum.
| The committee also made another
reduction in the amount of the tax
TO be paid on alcohol used for non
beverage purposes. The house fixed
this tax at $40 gallon and the
senate committee recently reduced
this to $3.2o a gallon. the reduction
made today cut the tax to sa.20 a
gallon.
! In rewriting the inheritance tax sec

provisions OF the bill TO include a
large number OF transactions which
were not included in the house bill.

MANY CONCRETE

NEW TYPE OF VESSEL IS
CHEAP AND BUILT
QUICKLY.

a. Pacific Port, March l6.-After
a close study of the reinforced con-
crete ship Faith, which was launch
ed successfully Thursday, Chief En-
gineer r. G.. Wigg OF the depart
ment of concrete construction Of
the United States emergency fleet
corporation, in a statement today
said he thought the new type OF
vessel might prove to be such a
vital war measure that it soon
would be Filling the ocean
The question of durability he
said, remained to be determined,
but at the least it would exceed the
term of the war. Quick conStruc-
tion in cheap yards was an adyan-
tage that probably would lead to
construction Of concrete ships on a
gigantic scale, he believed.
No fear, he said, was entertained
of the entire seaworthiness of the
concrete ship. Since the launching
of the Faith, he said, the vessel had
not leaked.
