Rent (One-half regular rate) — - __- _____________ 5.00 Frank Owens, Janitor service 1.00 Total_______________ 28-50 Net Profit__________ *18.00 IncomeTaxBlanks; PersonalProperty Uncle Sdm is not letting income tax payers forget that it soon will be time tovthink of making a contribution to the federal government. Reports of the year 1931 must be made out. All single persons having a net income of *1,600 or more and married per­ sons having net incomes o f *3,500 0 1 more must file reports before March 15th, In a Week or so County Auditor James J. Curletfc, will, matt -out tax blanks for personal property, covering investments that are productive as well ns non productive. As these blanks will be checked with all income blanks filed with the federal govern ment, taxpayers are urged to use care and have them correct. The sample blank we have seen is a six page affair, as complicated as the large form used for income tax payers. There will also be a shorter form for use in certain cases. You must pay ony half of your persona property tag when you file your re* tdln. The -blanks to be mailed out will be different from other years owing to the classification law. The new Ohio prebate code baa gone into effect, The new law m u passed April 1 .and went Into effect on January 1. The code i* designed to shorten the time In the adwinietea* tion o f estates and Probate Court work, The time for filing o f necessary papers in connection with the admin­ istration o f estates and their settle­ ment has been shortened, The new laws also increase the jur- •; isdigtion o f the Probate Court, The code gives the Probate Court plenary power at law and in equity.-to dispose /jfu lly o f any matter properly before it unless the power is otherwise speci­ fically limited by statute. In this con# , nection, the Probate Court js given Jurisdiction-in^ -the—ieohstruction o f . wills which formerly was done by Common Pleas Court. The laws o f descent and distribu­ tion have been changed.and'there-is no distinction as between reil -estate and personal property and ancestral ’ or nonancestral property. The statute eliminates all .Ufa es­ tates, and' dower has been abolished .except in certain cases and in place thereof, the surviving spouse is en­ titled to the distributive share of the estate provided by he law o f de&ent and distribution. Under the oldJaw ” the surviving spouse was entitled to exemption, o f *500. The new law in­ creases this to 20 per cent o f the es­ tate, not to exceed the^alue o f *2,500. Under the old law, the surviving ‘ husband or wife was entitled t o a t t fe interest in one-third o f the other’s property as his or her dower right.; . Now,' when there are no children, the surviving.spouse will receive out­ right three-fourths o f the property. The other quarter will go to the pa­ rent^ o f the 1 intestate, equally, and i f neither parent 1 b living, the whole goes to the surviving spouse. ' Where there is one .child, the su r-. viving husband’ or wife will now're­ ceive an absolute half o f tne estate, and where there are two or morechttd_, ren, an absolute third o f the property. Under the old law, if the surviving spouse, failed to make ah election with in .« year after the will wa« probated, the spouse was considered to have elected to take under the will; The new code requires the surviv- ng husband or wife to be given notice to elect to take or hot to take under will and requires such spouse to make his or her election within one . month after notification. . In case the surviving spouse tails to make an election .within one month, le or she » considered te have elected to take under the will, However, if the suvivor should die before he or she has made an election, the new code considers them aa hav­ ing elected hot to take under the will and consequently they would be entit­ led to their share of the estate as if the decedent has died intsstote. Under the new law* claims against estates must be filed within four months after the appointment of. the administrator or executor and they are'to he allowed or rejected with, in 30 days after-presentation. Debts o f an estate may be paid -six months after appoinment o f the ex­ ecutor or administrator. The time for contesting a will is changed from one year to six months. The first ac­ count in the estate must be filed nine months after appointment 6 f the set# tling officer, instead o f one year. Sub­ sequent' accounts are to be filed every half year instead of every year. When an inventory o f an estate is filed, the' Probate Conrt is required to notify, all interested parties o f the filing Of the inventory and-provide for a hearing thereon within a month. Five months after a fiduciary is nam­ ed for an estate, he is required to file a schedule o f debts o f the decedent, and all parties interested in the estate are required to be given notice of a hearing to be held in another month. After the debt schedule is filed, it can be more readily learned from the records just how much the net estate amounts to and what the share o f the heirs Will be. - The Probate Court, under the new law, must give the county auditor a monthly report*o f all inventories filed the month previous, giving the total amount o f each classification o f prop­ erty shown in each inventory. The court must rifeort annually to the State Tax Commission on the Bnal account o f all cases filed the previous year. CHARLES M’FARLAND TAKES NEW AUTO AGENCY C. C.
