Some Get Two Weeks and Others Two Manths, and What's the Reason? ow that we are in the vacation season, attention is directed to what seems to be the unfair system of ar- Y I nging v ions in the different de- tments in the state capitol, writes Gorrespondent from Hartford. The ct of the system is that the clerks Who work the hardest get the shortest vacatior The vacations r from two weeks to two months. The most glaring differen in the vacations ex ist in the insurance department. Some of the clerks get two months, others a mor and one or two get two weeks. The unusually long vacatiop period of two months has noth to defend it except custom. There is absolutely no reason why the clerks who are favosed h this vacation should receive it while others have to get along with /a shorter vacation.

Question of Inheritance Tax on Two Million Dollar Estate. Whether approximately $100,000 willy be collected by the state of Connecticut in consequence of the present inherit- ance law or whether the $1,000,000 es- tate of the late Justus Hotchkiss of New Haven will go without the ment of an inheri to le univ under ti r. Hotch- kiss is a question which Tax Comm sioner Willi cided as a matte; law, @ S probable that interesting points which may develop in connection with the final settlement will be determined by the supreme court. The hearing on the proposed decree on the estate has been assigned by Judge L. Gilson of the probate court for the district New Haven for Wednesday, Aug. 2, at 10 a. m. A pre- liminary hearing was held at ven yesterday mor ranged by counsel for the estate to have the hearing be- fore Judge Gilson on the final decree Friday morning, Aug. at 11 o'cloc] At the h university Hotchkiss estate were repres v__Judge Henry Stoddard and Thomas Hooker, Jr., and Tax Commissioner Corbin was repre- sented by Judge Charles W. Crame: deputy assistant state tax commis- sioner. The question raised by Yale u sity is a very interesting noWl one under the 191 law. Yale uriversity, aueathed §1,647,413.90 of Justus S. Hotchkiss, the bulk of which is personal estate, alleges that it is inheritance tax, to approximatel 100,000, on ground that it receives state aid, der the 1913 inheritance law, cha bie institutions were exempt from the payment of a ninheritance tax and ont probate court held that Yale univer- sity was a charitable corporation or in- stitution. TUnder the present inherit- ance law only corporations receiving | state aid are entitled to an exemption from the inheritance tax, and as IMr. Hotchkiss died after May 19, 1915, when the present inheritance law went morning Yale inher: which is be under the will xempt from the payment of an amount the Un- which would sity would e taxed in accordance with the 1915 law. Sections 2315 and 2317 of the general statutes of Connecticut exempt college buildings used for edu- cational purposes from taxatlon, but it is understood that the state of Con- necticut claims that such exemption does not constitute aid from the state state ald as contemplated in the 1915 act_ while the attorneys for the| estate of Mr. Hotchkiss alloge that| such an exemption is as a matter of fact aid from the state of Cognectiout and_ constitutes state ald as intended in the 1015 aot. Tt is generally under- stood that at the present time Yale university does not receive any direct state ald, but at varlous times In the past the collego recelved comparattvely small amounts from the state, but no direct payment from an t?pmvrmncn has boen made to tho college by tho state since about 1868 or 1870, Yale university, or Yale college, owns con- | oldorable roal estate In New Haven which ! not vsed for educational or colleza purposes and on which a tax ia paid, so that the college property s not entirely exempt frem taxatlon.
