Final Appraisal Made .of Estate

UNUSUAL METHODS ADOPTED
The Lion's Share of The Huge For
tune Passes Into Hands 'r ;
- of Vincent' Astor;y-ST ; "
- 7r- vv -
New York, April 15 Final appraisal
of the estate of John Jacob Astor, who
went to his death on the .Titanic,
fixes the value at $10,000;000 more
than the tentative appraisals and the
assessed valuation indicated the estate
to be worth. , .?"'vSjv ,
The share of the estate which passe? ;
into the hands of William Vincent
Astor, the', firs': American member- of
the family to held his legacy absolutely
and without the intervention of trusts,
amounts to $65,603,574. ' - , ''
The property set aside for Col. Astor ;
first wife, Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, was
appraised at $787,;97. The property
placed in trust for Col. Astor's second -wife,
who was Madeleine Force, -was
appraised at $1,695,792. ?
Unusual methods were adopted in Jhe
appraisal of the Astor estate. Instead ;
of the estate retaining its own appraii- '
ers and the State Comptroller retaining;
another set 6f appraisers, there- wagi
appointed a board of appraisers agreed
upon by both sides. It was understood :
that the ffeport of this board of experts,
should be accepted as final.
In the appraisal of property which .
had been left in trust for both first -and
second wives of Col. Astor, the ap--praisals
were made without knowledge ;;
on the part of the appraisers as to what'
purpose the property was to be de- -voted.
1
The value of the real estate, as deter-
mined by the appraisers, is approxi- -mately
$64,000,000, while the securities s '
he owned had a face value of $2O,OO0,-1:'-000.
Some of the securities were found ;
to be of doubtfuf value or worthless.
It was raid yesterday that the worthless
securities held by Col. Astor were almost ,
a negligible factor. -. j s s.
Most of these were investments into
which Col. Astor had been led by,, his'y
love for scient'fic experimentation, he y
evidently having been willing to invest
money ift ventures for the promotion ft -of
scientific theories in which, -it is
said, he had little hope of financaial pro-
fit I'-. By friends'he had been induced ; .;
to invest comparatively small sums "ia'0h
mining ventures. . I
