Mellon Tax May Be 35 Millions for Estate of Mellon
Friday estimates by vets suggest the federal inheritance tax on the estate of former Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon could exceed 15 million dollars and may run higher. Tax would be collected by the state, with implications that Mellons’ estate likely tops 50 million dollars despite large bequests. Howard M. Johnson, Mellon's secretary, declined to estimate state assets but cited 1931 income tax disclosures showing about 243 million valuation, while rates run 65 to 70 percent on large estates. Pennsylvania would receive 80 percent of any funds collected.
