The parties entered into the following stipulation:
Whereas, this appeal, aside from the fact that it covers the taxable years 1919 and 1920, involves the same questions as are involved in Docket #4635, covering the taxable year 1919; and whereas the Board on May 20. 1927, rendered a* decision in Docket #4635; and whereas, it is desired to avoid the necessity of making proofs on the present appeal which would be largely a duplication of the proofs submitted in Docket #4635.
Now Therefore, it is hereby stipulated by and between the counsel for the respective parties that all of the testimony submitted to the Board in Docket #4635 as to the following points shall be considered as applicable to the present appeal covering the years 1919 and 1920, viz:
1. The testimony submitted by both parties in connection with the claim of the petitioner that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on or about November 27, 1920, made a determination of the petitioner's timber values as of March 1, 1913, shall be equally applicable to Docket #10495.
2. The testimony submitted by both parties in connection with the values as of March 1, 1913, of the petitioner's timber, shall be equally applicable to Docket #10495.
As concerns the question of inventories it is hereby stipulated by and between counsel for the respective parties that the inventories of December 31, 1918, December 31, 1919, and December 31, 1920, under the legal theory of the respondent, viz, total cost or total market, whichever is lower, shall be and are as follows:
December 31, 1918. $209,301. 00
December 31, 1919. 163, 689.96
December 31, 1920. 265, 612.45
The findings of fact in Appeal of Boyne City Lumber Co., 7 B. T. A. 36, and our opinion therein, in so far as each is applicable under the stipulation, are adopted as our findings of fact and opinion in this proceeding. The deficiencies in question should be recomputed in accordance with such findings of fact and opinion and in accordance with the stipulation.
Judgment will be entered after 15 days' notice, under Bule 50.
