Query Regarding VIII

To the Editor Of the EUenia0 Public LEDGER
Sir-wil you kindly inform me as 20
wbether a Will, drawn up informally by the
testator himself. Is rendered invalid by the
fact that ono Of the two witnesses Is TO
be the recipient Of q small legacy?
MRS. l.. o. JONES.
Philadelphia, November 49, 1920.
No. A legatee or deviseo may be wit
ness to q will. In Pennsylvania 1t Is not
required that n will, unless making devises
or bequests for charity uses. shall be signed
by the witness. 1t Is enough under the
law ~ two witnesses can prove the sigma
ture Of the testator. II Is the better prac-
tice to have the will proved by Independent
witnesses who are not legatees. But the
fact that a person Is beneficiary under
the will does not invalidate his competency

Blu Raise In Assessmen Mt

To the Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
sir--Can you beat this one7 Several years
ago seventeen houses in Olncy or summer
Vile were built and sold for s2975 each. The
builder said they would be assessed for
$4,000. When all sold they were assessed
for s27o0. Now last year the assessment
went up to $4,000, and this year to $4,000,
Now I consider that an outrage. These
houses were bought for homes. not to sell
or speculate, and the street is only four
squares long, and Is cut on at one END by
a textile manufactory. Tho other end is cut
of by the railroad.
