Legacy Tax Payment on Williamson Estate
Philadelphia on April 1. A check for 280,012 dollars was paid by the Pennsylvania company for the securing of lives and granting annuities to Penrose A. McClain as a legacy tax upon the estate of the late Isaiah A. Williamson valued at over six million dollars. Williamson died more than a decade ago and a life will clause delayed bequests for ten years. The war tax law and Commissioner Wilson's ruling caused beneficiaries to face liability for shares received after the new bill. The payment was made under protest and the case will go to court.
