Associated Gas Settles Tax
Claims for S8,700,000
BY the Associated Press.


Federal tax claims of about $50
100000 against some corporations in
the Associated Gas & Electric sys-
tenn were settled yesterday for S.
100000.
Treasury officials announced that
a compromise was signed in New
York and that S3,OOO,O00 was paid
Immediately. The remainder will be
paid over a five-year period.
Most of the claims had been pend
ing before the United States Board
OF Tax Appeals. Other sums were
involved in suits pending in Fed
eral district courts in the Northern
District of New York, Delaware and
the Southern District of Florida.
The Treasury said it considered
the sum "a fair settlement on an
amicable basis of the tax contro-
versles" for the years 1927 to 1888.
During that time Associated Gas, a
holding company, had not paid any
income taxes. using a consolidated
statement for its component COM
panies. The Treasury claims were
based on income of some of the in
dividual corporations.
A Treasury official explained that
the difference between the total
claims and the settlement was &C
counted for largely by deductions for
intercompany transactions and fuc-
tuations in the market value of
securities.
