A AIOST IMPORTANT OPINION It Covers Thirty-Novell 1'ngcs and Deals with tho Appeal from the Collateral Inheritance Tax Ap-lraUumuut--llc Holds That the Two Local Charitalilo Institutions Arc Kijual Owners in at), 000 Acres ol Coal and Timber Lauds and That They Will Come by 850,000 Kach, with the Land Held at Only 810 1111 Acre. One of the most Important nnd elab orate opinions delivered by the local court was that handed down by Presi dent Judge It. W. Archbnld yesterday, deallngwlth the appeal of the executors of the Hundley estate and the city of Winchester, Vn., from the collateral Inheritance tax appraisement of the estate of the late judge made by H. E. Paine. The opinion Is of general Importance because of Its llndlngs In some several controverted points of law, but from a local standpoint it Is most Important because of one of Its Incidental findings which gives to St. Patricks orphanage and the House of the Good Shepherd JUDGE n. W. AUCHHALD. unlooked for legacy of $50,100 each, ac cording1 to the appraised valuation, but which will amount to vastly more when Its real value is considered. A careful estimate places the value ot these leg acies at $100,000 each. The value of the residue which goes to tho city of Win chester, the residuary legatee, is llxed at $400,000. The whole estate, Judge Archbald concludes, Is subject to the collateral inheritance tax, even Including the real estate In Vlrglnta and West Vir ginia, which Is virtually made person alty, he contends, because It Is In a stipulated line to be turned into cash and distributed by a court of the com monwealth of Pennsylvania. This dis misses the objection made by the appel lant that really In a foreign state Is not subject to the collateral Inheritance tax of this state. Another contention of the appellants that at all events the city of Winchester can not be taxed for Its legacy until It comes Into the en joyment of It Is dismissed on the grounds that to enjoy that privilege the city should have within one year after the death of the testator Hied an account of the expected estate with the register of this county and given security for the payment of the tax, which the appellant In this case failed to do. The substance of the opinion is ap pended. It occupied thirty-seven close ly type-written pages and represents, as Is readily apparent, a vast amount of labor and research. It Is the length iest opinion ever written by Judge Archbald, It was for the purpose of giving him nn opportunity to complete It this week that he called Judge Purdy of llonesdale, to preside In his place in court room No. 11, JUDGE AHCIIBALD'S OPINION. Appeals of executors and of City of Winchester, residuary legatee, from apprnlempnt for collateral inherit ance tax, The appraiser 'from whom these ap peals are taken has made a report ex cellent In form and correct In the main in principle. The chief variance which we hiive with it Is as to values. Tho questions raised by the appeals can best be disposed of by being taken up as they are presented by the exceptions assigned to the appraisement. It Is true that they cover pretty much ever; thing embraced In It which sug gests that some of them are merely formul, but when we have considered and passed upon them all we can bo sure that the whole case has been duly met as It is laid before us. The excep tions of the executors and of tho res iduary legatee are the same both In substance and in the order in which they are assigned and they may there foie be considered and disposed of to gether. It Is true that a motion has been made to dismiss the appeal of the city for want of the security required by law, but In nn opinion just filed opportunity has been given to remedy this defect nnd In anticipation that It will be compiled with we will meantime regard the appeal as before us and dls post of It the same as It no such motion had been made, 1. Just why the Insurance upon the decedent's life is excepted to wo do not well see. It forms a part of the per sonal estate and passoB under the will with the rest of the estate to collater als, and is subject to a tax In conse quence, 2. The same Is true as to the house hold effects, library, statuary, works of art, etc., in the residence of the de ceased. That the value of $5,000 given to this property Is excessive we cannot agree to. 3. What Is said with resrard to the household effects Is true In all par ticulars as to the furniture found at No. 428 Lackawanna avenue, Seranton, assessed at $500. 4. The estate of tho decedent Is ac credited with -TJG Fhares of the capltul stock of the Equity Improvement com pany of Seranton, Pu., which Is ap praised at 2447.51 per share, making a total of $2.10,844.00. There is no evi dence to call this appraisement In ques tion, and It will have to stand. We are not Informed by the evidence as to what Is the character of the corpora tion nor In what Its capital Is invested nor what If any Is tho par or market value of Its shares. In the absencu of any guide of this kind wo must assume that the estimate uf the appraiser Is correct. 5. Considerable evidence has boon taken to call In question the appraiser's value of the, shares held by the deced ent In the Equity Improvement com pany of Winchester, Va. The capltul stock of this compuny consists of one hundred thousand shares of the par value of five dollars per share, and the decedent hud 50,200 shares or over one- ICoutlnucd on l'age 0.

Select council's ac tion that It bo received and filed was concurred In. The meeting developed a fight on the passage of the Seventeenth district main sewer ordinance on first and sec ond reading. The measure was passed however. The ordinance has been ap proved by the select branch and pro vides for the sewering of the Twelfth, Nineteenth nnd a part of the Twenti eth wards on the South Side. Captain Molr, Mr. Flnnnagan and Philip Wlrth were tho chief advocates of the meas ure. WHAT SWEENEY SAID. While the Twelfth ward lies on ex tremely high ground and Its refuse and sewage has for years polluted the wards of less altitude. Its residents oppose paying for sewers which will only extend to the edge of the ward but for which the ward will have to bear a proportionate expense. That was Mr. Sweeney's argument against the pass age of the measure. He and Mr. Wlrth, of the Nineteenth, and Mr. Norton, of the Twenty-first, cast the only negative voles. For six or seven years the property owners of the lower wards have been clamoring for sewers to rid them of the lllth from the Twelfth aboye and from their own localities, but favorable ac tion has never been taken owing to the opposition of the Twelfth constituency. The board of health Is largely responsi ble for the present action. There were no reports from commit tees, other than the usual prosaic doc ument from the auditing committee. An important communication that in volves possibly a. great expense 'to property owners on Spruce street, be tween Wyoming and Penn avenues, and on Wyoming avenue between Spruce and Linden streets, was received from ll!k m bi A v ytim 1 : A "Ml A yfi'W'Jk, l W0?

If the sidewalk about that particular corner Is at the proper grade the contiguous walks will have to be raised several Inches. ENGINEER'S COMMUNICATION. The city engineer's communication was a voluminous one and elted the Incompleteness of figures of profiles made many years ago. The matter was referred tu the streets and bridges committee In conjunction with the city engineer. The large batch of concurrent resolu tions from select council were all ap proved with remarkable rapidity and with no comment. Mr. Seamans introduced an ordinance providing for tho grade of Delaware street between Capouse and Penn ave nues and it was referred for print ing. A resolution providing for a stone arch culvert over Stafford Meadow brook on Elm street, introduced by George Wlrth, was adopted. The meeting ndjourned to convene two weeks hence.
