An appeal from probate taken by
Henry H. Gallup, state treasurer, on
behalf of the state, for the procuring
of a succession tax to the state from
the estate of the late Miss Frances
Burr, oi Fairil‘eld. brings up many in-
teresting questions in reiterate the
succession tax in this state.‘ The up
peel has been returned to the Febru-
ary term'of the‘clvil Superior Court.
and the papers are issued from tlle of
fine of the attorney general at Hart
i‘IIld.
'Iiiiss Bull". who died about a year .
ago aged 9. little over 70 years. left an
estate the inventory of which ill coult I
at Fairneld, showed property val ed
at $110,651“. Mr Gallup claims t at
under the law the estate is entitled to
a succession tax on all the estate over
$100,651.41 to be returned to_ the
state.
At a hearing in the town hall. Fair
held. on December 23, 1901, Judge
Benita decided that the amount of the
property and estate of Miss Burr

The whole estate is left to the
nephew of the deceased, Henry S.
Burr, of Fairfleld. it is the contention
of the state that as Mr. Barr, a real-
dent of the state. Inherits property
from anotheI resident of the state, a
succession tax may he collected. even
if a‘ p01 tion of that property is located
outside the. state lurisdiction. The
matter will be carried to the Supreme
Court ‘of Errors for a decision upon
that and several other points which
areVraiscd in the appeal.
