Seer: in the estate of Richard W. Sears, lust week was handed down by Circuit Judge Claire C. Edwards and in it he fixed the back tax owned by the estate at 8776,- 876.92. The action taken at the request of the Cook county board of.commie- sioners April 2, 1917, was in behalf of the state, Cook county, and the village of Oak Park, for an extension of a tax of $1,703,621 on $43,000,000 assessed valuation on Sears property between the years 1907 to 1912. 0f the $1,703,621 asked Judge Ed- wards drew the conclusion that 8654,- 452.88 was illegal And excessive and that to make the tax equitable a 25 per cent discount should be allowed. Those reasons shaved $926,765 from the amount sought by Cook county in- terests.
