Pocantico Hills property. 1t was ex-
ecated last Tuesday, the day before
the elder Rockefeller's eighty-sixth
birthday. Transfer tax stamps
amounting to S1,732 80 showed that
the value put on the property was
S1,732 500, the tax being at the rate
of 81 per thousand.
The elder Rockefeller has been grad
ually abandoning responsibilities in
recent years. He sold his Cleveland
property, including the Forest Hills
estate. TO his son several years ago,
and his public and private gifts in
recent years indicate that he is much
less wealthy than when he was at the
peak of his fortune.
At one time his wealth was esti-
mated at a billion but since then he
has given half billion to charity and
various foundations and made large
gifts to children and grandchildren.
He retains the right to occupy any
of the houses figuring in the latest
transactions.
Had the properties been willed, Mr..
Rockefeller's estate, after his death,
would have to pay a 40 per cent Fed
eral tax, plus State taxes in New
York and New Jersey.
