dav issued an opinion to tho state
board of tax commissioners involv-
ing the assessment of about $1,000
600 of property in Hammond.
since tho sale of approximately
200 houses built during the war Tor
tho employees Of the Standard Steel
Car Company. by the United states
housing Corporation last year the
question has been mooted whether
the purchasers would have to pay
taxes
SOLD ON CONTRACT
The houses were sold on contract
and the purchasers contended that
they would not have 10 pay taxes
until the deeds were Delivered
The attorney general held tnat the
properties could not be assessed Tor
taxation as they are still in the
name of the United States govern
ment. but that the amount OF the
payments made by the purchasers
is subject to assessment as personal
property
The decision means that the own
ers of the homes will be forced 70
paw taxes on the amount of the pay
ments they made last year and tnas
the total amount paid for the homes
will be again assessed this year.
The decision of the attorney gen.
eral Is as follows:
HERE Is DECISION
state Board of Tax Commissioners,
Indianapolis, Indiana
Dear sirs:
have your communication OF
June 18th. containing a request TOT
my further opinion in re taxation
Of property~rIghts arising out OF the
activities of the United states
Housing Corpora ton IL Lake county
as follows:
yours of June 9Th in reply 70
our inquiry az to whether the real
estate belonging to the Uniteo
states Housing Corporation OF Lake
county, can be taxed has been re-
ceived. and IN accordance with your
opinion we will make no attempt to
assess that real estate against the
United States Housing Corporation
we would like to have the fur
ther information, however, as &c
whether anyone holding contract
OF purchase from the United States
Housing Corporation for any OF such
real estate may not be taxed for the
amount paid thereon and any addi-
tional improvements placed thereon
by the purchaser.
In answer to the above call your
attention to section II OF the act
March IL. 1919 (Acts 1919. p. 2oe)
as follows:
when real estate IL exempt from
taxation in the hands OF the holder
OF the fee and the same Is contract
ed to be sold. the amount paid there
on by the purchaser, with the value
of the improvements thereon until
the fee Is conveyed. shall be held
TO be personal property. and be list
ed and assessed as such in the place
where the land is situated"
In my opinion the amount invest
ed as purchase money or for i'm
provements by the purchaser shouid
be listed for taxation under the
above statutory provision.
Very respectfully,
y. 5. LEsH,
Attorney General.

Made Quite Sure of Death.

A Ramsgate England man to make
quite sure that he would not be buried
alive made three conditions in his
will. Firstly, that his body be placed
for three days in a room where a good
fire was kept up. so that if he were
only in coma he would show signs
of life; secondly, that his main artery
be cut; and. thirdly, that he be buried at
sea. without being enclosed in q cAf-
fin. All three requests have been car
ried out. His body was, again at his
own request, placed upon an OAK tray
and wrapped in crepe. With heavy
weights attached, it was committed to
the deep, near the Goodwin sands, the
religious ceremony having taken place
on land. 3oatmen and undertakers
only were present at the sea ceremony.

ALWAYS AT WAR WITH CROWS
Earliest White Settlers in America Or
fered sounties for the Heads
of Obnoxious Birds.

The crow was on the American con-
tinent when white men settled here.
He had lived on terms of amity with
the Indians, and when the whites came
he admitted them to his acquaintance.
He thought they were his friends anu
he believed that they set out wlde
fields of corn for his edifcation and
entertainment. He accepted what he
understood to be the white mans III
vitation to eat, newly planted and
freshly sprouted corn. In this he erred.
He mlsjudged the white man. These
early settlers found fault with the
habits of the crow, and among the
old statutes, especially. those of Mary
land and Virginia, one finds offers OF
bounties for the heads Of crows. There
were also bounties for the scalps Oh
wolves, foxes and bears and the heads
of squirrels.
In 1928 the Maryland council and
assembly enacted that each taxable
person in the colony should bring in
each year three heads, or scalps OF
crows, and the same of squirrels, and
for each additional crow or squirrel
scalp should receive two pounds Of TO-
bacco Statutes having the same aim
are found in the law books as early as
1880, and other acts with revisions and
amendments are found up to and fol
lowing the American Revolution.
