Roberts has received an opinion from Attor- ney General John H. Light concern. ing the taxation of bonds of Connec- ticut corporations, upholding the statement of the treasurer in‘ notify~ ing the corporations that such' bonds are taxable under the statutes. Fol- lowing is the text of the opinion of Attorney Ge rai Light:— Hon. Edward Roberts, Treasurer. Dear Sir:~‘—You say that—— “This department has published a circular letter stating that bonds of Connecticut corporations, such as also tric light. gas and manufacturing cor- porations, are liable to taxation Very many holders of this class of securl ties inform me that they are advised on competent numerity that such bonds are not taixable, “I wish to have .your opinion. as to able within this state." ' l. The Legislature has expressly de- clared under Section 2,323 of the Gen~ erai Statues. that-all notes, bonds, and' stocks not issued by the United States moneys, credits and chosen in action, belonging to any resident of tilts state, shall be set in his list in the town where .he resides at their actual valu— ation. except when otherwise provid- ed. Hence. it is clear that all such bonds are taxable, unless it can be shown that the Legislature has enacted some general statute or special charter pro. vision exempting the same. ‘i find no general statute granting such exemp- tion; and, while i have not had time to read all of the special charters un- der which a great many of said .cor— poratlons exist, I feel very confident that none of them exempt bonds from taxation. Therefore. subject to the ‘above ex- ception, -1 am of the opinion that all bonds of electriclight, gas and manu- facturing corporations are taxable in tilts state. - ‘ Very truly yours, (Signed) JNO.

The latest official nous sets forth that there has been a lllll,in the titanic artillery ducll. This is taken to indicate that today's struggle may be marked by a tremendous advance of infantry, such as made the battle- ' field of the Marne a scene of indescribable horror and des- olation.
