Expensive tax fight over Sherman estate in Ohio
In Mansfield Ohio October 16 a major tax dispute over the late Senator Sherman estate promises costly proceedings. Officials claim 264000 in back taxes and penalties on about 1.5 million in personal property not listed for 1895 to 1900. Executors contend bonds and securities were non taxable in Ohio or already paid. If unconstitutional tax inquisition is argued, high legal talent will be drawn, potentially impacting similar actions against John C. Larwill’s estate. Notable assets include stock in Capital Traction Company Washington and Trust Company Washington, Western Union margins, Northern Pacific bonds, and other securities.
