Executors Claim
Dickinson Will
Not Evaluated
Reprinted from The New York
Herald Tribune
HACKKNSACK, N. J., Nov. 20.
Reports that the estate of
Colonel Fairleigh S. Dickinson, of
Rutherford, N. J., was valued at
$20,000,000 or more were described
today as unfounded. The will of
Colonel Dickinson, who died June
28, 1948, was filed on Nov. 8 with
Surrogate Donald D. Dulcher, of
Bergen County.
Executors of the estate pointed
out that no stated inventory has
been completed and the valuation
cannot be ascertained now. They
insisted also that any statements
that the estate would reach $20,
000,000 represented an exaggera
tion. Counsel for the executors, in
filing the will, made no formal
estimate of the value of the estate.
Colonel Dickinson was president
and co-founder of Becton, Dickin
son & Co., manufacturers of sur
gical instruments, of Rutherford.
He founded Fairleigh Dickinson
College in Rutherford in 1942.
The executors also asserted that
statements In newspaper storiei
concerning gifts by JJolortel Wck
insori bf more than ,OOU0O4"J(o
Fairleigh Dickinson College were
not based on the facts and that
his actual contributions did not
come anywhere near such an
amount.

ceive $8,826.
The State Department of reve
nue announced that beginning this
week it will send out checks cover
ing beer wine tax rollcteions to 98
counties and several hundred cities
and towns.
This will be the first full-year
distribution of beer and wine taxes
since the 1947 General Assembly
doubled beverage taxes a id set up
a complicated refunding process.
In all, the state collected $6,092,
659 22 from beer and wine taxes.

ly reverted to the state. Of the
other half, all but $67,212 85 was
