Settlement of Bronx Estate
Develops Question of
Taxing Participating Ger
tificates

Surrogate George M. S. Schulz of
Bronx County reserved decision yester-
day on legal question which is likely
to involve s1o0,ooo,ooo of real estate
mortgage participation certificates is
sued by title companies. The question
under consideration by the Surrogate
IS with respect to subjecting the
amount represented by the certificates
to payment of penalty of per cent
under Section 221B of the tax law
relative to taxable transfers of a de-
cedent's property. That section pro-
vides that penalty of per cent shall
be imposed on investments unless it is
proven that such investments are ex-
cmpt from inheritance tax or that
personal property tax was paid on them
for f tn, the period they were held by the
In court yesterday John Boyle, jr,
counsel for State Controller Eugene
M. Travis, appealed to have the five
per cent penalty imposed on a partici-
patton certificate representing $4,000
and held by the estate of the late
John G. Urstadt, who died June II,
1913. J. George Urstadt, a son Of the
decedent and administrator Of the es-
tate, opposed the state controller
through his attorney, Michael B. Nc
Hugh.
The Title Guarantee and Trust Com
pany, which issued the certificate on
mortgage of $4,000, appeared by Har-
old M. Swain, it's attorney, and he
joined in opposition to the state con-
troller, because of the large amount
of money involved in participation GER
tificates issued by title companies.
On the report of Transfer Tax Ap-
praiser Ernest W. Bradbury, Surro-
gate Schulz entered an order assess
ing tax of $166.4O on the Urstadt
estate.
In his report to the Surrogate Brad
bury reserved his decision on the
question Of taxation on the participa-
tion certificate for $6,OOO pending a
decision from the Court of Appeals
on the validity Of the act imposing
the per cent penalty, and therefore
the taxing order of the Surrogate
imposed no tax on the participation
certificate. Since then the Court of
Appeals having sustained the act in
question, the State Comptroller moved
to impose the per cent penalty on
the participation certificate.
The Udstadt estate and the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company op-
posed the Comptroller, contending that
no personal property tax is due on
the ground that the mortgage tax
paid on the $4,000 mortgage exempted
the participation certificate from fur
ther tax.

The savings banks and trust com
panies of Vermont at The end OF the
lisca! year had deposits OF over sl27-
100000, an increase of five millions
since the first OF April. Vermont has
more savings bank deposits per cap
ta than any other state and more de-
positors in proportion TO population
in fact ii would look as though Yer
mont has enough savings bank de-
positors-to project the Estate from
Bolsheyism, communism and radical
socialism for should these isms get in
control il would mean the taking OF
Iall these deposits by loud mouthed
leaders OF the rabble and blowing in
he money at their own personal
pleasure. Some of tho parlor theor-
lists will claim otherwise but that is
precisely what happened in Russia,
Hungary and other places where the
radicals have once gotten control In
iact the bank deposits are among the
iirst to be seized because they are
