Tqtts Would Have Been Better'
WELLINGTON, Fri. (Sp.Wlt is not as good as it looks by any means," said Mr E. B. Lattey, of 65 Onslow Road, Khandallah, yesterday. This was his comment on learning that he and three brothers had become heirs to a £IOO,OOO estate.
“By the time, death duties and Hie lawyers’ expenses are paid, there will be nothing left. “I might be able to buy a pair of shoes," he said.
“A Tatts prize would be far better." •
Mr Lattey, who has been a farmer-in the King Country and the Waikato and a wool depart* ment manager now spends his time painting pictures.
The news had not come as a surprise, he said. He and the other members of the family had been in touch with the attorneys in England since they traced the family 18 months or two years ago.
