«amid a commufeatia'n from the ales
of the oosimisatooer or internal revo-
nue at Washington. which is going to
raise a question between tho state of
Connecticut and the internal revenue
department. The letter was in answer
to a question sent to Washington.
whether the transfer of oyster beds
would be taxed as a conveyance of pro-
perty. and how. The question was sent
to Washington by Collector Lake, be-
cause then is a difference otopiniou
on account of theiact that the law of
the state of Connecticut treats oyster
beds as personal property, and convey-
ance of personal property. under the
revenue law is exempt from taxation.
Section 602 of the General Statutes
says: “In the settlement of the es-
tates of deceased persons and insolvent
debtors before any court in this state.
the interest of any such estate in or to
any oyster grounds. or oysters planted
and growing thereon. shall be treated
as personal property."
The internal revenue commissioner
at Washington, however. treats the
scllng of oyster beds as a conveyance of
real estate. because in the selling of
oyster beds the grounds are bounded
and described just like any other prop-
erty, and while the granting clause in
the instrument runs to the grantee and
to his legal representatives and not to
his heirs and assigns, it still has the
features of conveyance of real estate in
that is is perpetual. It does not blvfi
the principal features of a lease. as no
rent is reserved nor is there any re»
malnder over. because there is no ter~
mlnatlon of the estate. Therefore. the
depratment considers that it comes
within the purview of the paragraph in
the internal revenue rules which says.
“Conveyance in deed, instrument. or
writing. whereby any lands. tenements.
or other realty sold. shall be granted
assigned. transferred. or otherwise con-
veyed to. or vested in. the purchaser or
purchasers. or any other person or per-
sons, by his, her or their direction.

no provision is made for the issuing of
licenses to grocers. The Falriield and

on hold and while the commiuioners of

cision in the matter. they express the
opinion that the package licenses
which they formerly issued to grocers
