ltles of the principals as to the law govern
Ing their mutual property-rights the docu

Laura Delano, subject to a mortgage of

For the same consideration of one dollar
and the Intended marriage, the bridegroom
"doth further covenant" to pay hla wife
120,000 a year In four quarterly Installment-,
"all payments free from Income or other
taxes." and "for the purpose of securing

this Item Into account in permitting the In.

because the commission - believed the

sufficient to guarantee a proper return on

Commissioner Wlnnett writing the decision:
"Ths evidence submitted as to the value
of the property was conflicting, that found
by the applicant being 12.591.380, while the
experts employed by the commleslon re
