The receipts for 1920 may, be accounted for in part by the high market values of securities at the time of the deaths of de- cedents whose estates paiq inheritance taxes during 1920. Tt is likely that the attention given by this office to the veri- fication of appraisals is resporsible to isome extent therefor. The largest amount which this state has ever receved from an inheritance tax namely $600.000 paid on account of one unusual'y large estate brought receipts for 1920 in excess of the largest am-unt previously received m any year. Receipts On Penalty Tax The receipts for tie peralty tax so- called during the fiscal year ended Juue 20, 1920 were $430,562.8), while t.e re- ceipts for the fiscal year ended 1919 (nine months period) were $141,008.74. Of the preceeding amounts four-fifths was' paid to the towns in which the de- cedents upon whose estates was assessed died resident or a total amount for 1920 of $360,450.49 and for 1919 $112.80 ‘The amount retained by the. state under Lae provisions of section 1194 general statutes were for 1920, $90,112.31 and 1919 $25,201.46. Legislation of 1919 allowed tha sec of state (o legislate out of existerice corporations which haq neglected to file for two successive years their annual reports with the secreta y of state.

As .the result of this law. several hundred dormant. corperations which had been carried by this dipartment for some years were stricken from the live records, This legislation ha sbeen of great assistance to the tax commissioner in that it enabled him to get r'd of a multi- tude of troublesome corp.rations. Most of these corporations were existing. in name only. In several instances it was impossible to reach the cerporations by A MARVELLOUS KIONEY REMEDY In One Month, “Frult-a-tves” 6ave Complete Relief 658 First Ave., Troy, N.

In other cases no actention would be paid to letters, and the lack of assets made it futile for this department t> fo low up the matter. -The administration of the law giving to the secretary of state the power to forfeit the corporate rights of delinquens companies, however. has shown the necessity of giving the same state official the power to reinstate a corporation if application is not made within six months after the forfeiture, as now required.
