State Is Beaten
In Fight to Tax
Barbour Estate
Appellate Division Decides
That Thread Manufacture
err Was Resident of New
Jersey at Time of Death

The Appellate Division decided yes
terday that Colonel William Barbour,
thread manufacturer, who died March
/, 1917, was a resident of New Jersey
at the time of his death and not of
New York, and, therefore, this state
could not collect transfer tax on his
estate, valued at from $10,000,000 to
$20,0O0,OOO.
Besides having the immediate effect
of deprving the state of New York
of several hundred thousand dollars
in taxes from the Barbour estate, this
decision, if upheld by the Court of APP
peals, will defeat the purpose of State
Controller Travis, in having an amend
ment added to the transfer tax law in
1917, which would have put millions in
taxes in the State Treasury and under
which amended law Surrogate Cohalan
decided the Barbour case.
This amendment provided that any
person who shall have dwelt in New
York State the greater part of twelve
months preceding his or her death
shall be considered a resident of this
state.
In the case of Colonel Barbour.
whose estate Controller Travis con-
tended should be taxed here, it was
shown that in the last year of his life
he spent in New York State 235 days
and in New Jersey 1870 Gays.
The Appellate Division upheld the
contention of the executors of the Bar
bour estate that the words of the
statute merely created ".disputable
presumption" that the decedent died
resident of New York, which, however,
can be overcome by sufficient evidence
to the contrary. 1t was pointed out
that during the last years of his life
Colonel Barbour was confined to his
bed by illness much of the time.
Justice Merrell, writing the opinion
of the court, said he did not believe
the Legislature intended any such
drastic rule as that for which Con
troller Travis contended.

undertaken by the government In an
effort TO relieve the shortage of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit assO-
citation, 1t was announced recently, has
