Duncan overruIes Tax Commission.

Judge Frank I. Duncan passed an
order in the Circuit Court at Towson
overruhng decision of the Maryland
State Tax Commission in regard to
the taxation of 1886 shares of the Com.
merce Trust Company held by three
voting trustees. The State Tax Com.
mission held that the shares should be
distributed for taxation as regards the
residences of the owners of them. A
petition was filed by the Baltimore
County Commissioners asking that the
State Commission be reversed, and
contending that as T. Edward Hamble-
ton, one Of the three voting trustees,
was a resident of Baltimore county.
one-third of the value of the shares
was taxable in said county. This view
is sustained by Judge Duncan, and he
orders that the shares be distributed
for taxation accordingly.
A plea filed by the State Commits
sion that the court was without
jurisdiction to review the decision Of
the former was overruled, and it held
that the shares are the taxable prop
erty of the voting trustees, and should
be apportioned one-third to eacA.

fer to have the ticket made up Of
