The will was allowed in the Norfolk probate court this morning, and although there was no Inventory of the estate as filed today, a bond of $400,000 set for the executors of the will, shows that probably the estate will be valued somewhere In the neighborhood of $200,000.

Smith; $2000 for the care of the burial lot at Norwood, $1000 each to John Sagan and Marv Tobln, in appreciation of their faithful services for many years, and several cash gills to relatives.
The household furnishings and the contents of the stable go to the widow, and the use of the homestead is to be hers for life, while the remainder of the property is to be held In trust for the benefit of the widow for life, and then to go to Tufts college, to be known as the John E. Smith fund.
