2j, 1913, will be submitted to the surrogate this week by the counsel Df the State Controller, and the court will be asked to decide whether he-lived in this State or in Vermont, so that the amount of the transfer tax tan be fixed. Joseph 1. Berry, the appraiser, has gone so far with this work a3 to set the value of the esiaii. down definitely at more than 000. 000.

The will was filed here on March 1, 1913. Elizabeth 11. Connoh, a cousin of the decedent, protested its probate, but the objections were withdrawn, and the will was admitted to pro'iate on July 11, 1913. The difficulty in deciding where was the home of Rutherford prises from the fact that he lived a lonely and obscure life. He was a bachelor, anj in poor health, and was 65 years old when he died.

lie owned a handsome home at Grand Isle, but he spent the gerater part of his time in the big hotels here, living mainly at the Waldorf, Plana, and Astor. Among the witnesses examined by Mr. Berry were Drs. Charles L. Gibson and Lewis A.

Conner, who stated that Mr. Rutherford suffered from diabetes, and was not physically strong. He had few associates and indulged very little in social pleasures. His death, like his life, caused little comment. Even the filing of his will received notbv, althougn it crr-atej a truft fund or tile income of t.liih wai to be by the Rockefel'er In-lltute of Medical Research ''l'or into the causes and nature of the disease i i i 1 Sets the Pace."

Mr. Rutherford left I 50,000 each to his friends, Lydia Pearsall Steel and Elizabeth Clark Pearsall, $1,200 a year to Mary N'lcholson and to his friend and executor Charles K. Phip-ard of Brooklyn, $100,000. The residue was left to the children of his father, James Rutherford. If any of them had died leaving children, the latter were to get the share due their parents.

This clause created about forty-four heirs, many of whom live in England. Mr. Rutherford inherited 1 54 from his brother, John H. Ruth-, tri'ord, who died in Cannes, France, 'on Feb. 24, 1911.

He loft $44,076 in bank, $1,927,200 in stocks and bonds, and In mortgages, Shortly before his death he ordered a yacht, but he died before, it was finished, and the cost of this was added to his debts, which amount to $69,371.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Lighting Plant Financ Alderman Buell's Services to the City. To the Editor of the Daily News: Referring to Dr.

Vincent's repeat letter in last Wednesday's issue of the Kews in defense of Mayor Burita and municipuj lighting plant, Dr. Vincent has been one of the electric light commissioners for a good manv years and elaims he is greatly interested in Its affairs, and certainly must hava known the city borrowed S50.000 November 6, 112, for the said plant ct per cent, interest. He knew the city was paying per eent, on this loan right along for more than two years and he also knew that money couid have been secured from other souri.es at 4 per cent; yet, he not only failed to cause any action to be taken to secure it at a lower rate, but th contrary is greatly offended because Alderman Btiell and other taxpayers saw fit to give it publicity and force Mayor Burke to call a nreetinp which resulted in saving the city $1,000 per year. In view of the above facts, isn't Dr. Vincent, as well as Mayor Burke, guilty and shouldn't they be criticised for permitting this loan to run along at 6 per cept against the interests of tha city without a public protest It's evident from the attitude of Mayor Burke and Dr.

Vincent that they want to muzzle the taxpayers and prevent them from offering any criticisms. I judge from the feelings of many of the taxpayers with whom I hava talked that they prefer the facts regarding their property and don't appreciate the attitude of Mayor Burke, and Dr. Vincent in throwing mud at Alderman Luell, who has rendered the city valuable service, not only in bringing this matter up but severar other important matters within a Jew months, including the bill of (2000 against the Traction Company that was about years 'd, and a bill of about $20,000 for sidewalk and curbing assessments which was several years old and putting in a resolutio instructing the City Attorney to proceed and collect the bills referred to. This city needs more aldermen of the Bueil type to look after their Interests. How many more years would thia $50,000 loan at 6 per cent, run, but for the good work of Alderman Buell and others who gave it publicity? It's stated that about has been expended on the Municipal Lighting Plant during 1912-1913 and 1914, and that quite a portion or this sum went into repairs instead of extensions and I enlargements as claimed by Mayor I Burke, and Dr.

Vincent, It is reported further that this de-i partment is carrying forward from year to year as an asset certain out-1 of-date equipment at cost that is not worth 10 cents on the dollar in order to make it appear that the plant 13 a I money maker. i It is further reported that the Mun-! k-ipal Lighting Plant is in need of ex-j tensive repairs to boilers, etc at Lain i time. Will Dr. Vincent kindly advise the taxpayers as to whether or not these statements and charges are true, or false? ECONOMY.
