                     E.J. HARRISON AND SONS, INC., Petitioner v.

                    P was engaged in the waste pickup and disposal                    
               business, servicing several California communities.                    
               During the years in question, H was one of four                        
               officers of P, the other three being her sons, who were                
               responsible for all of the key management functions on

               for compensation paid to H on the ground that it was                   
               unreasonable and excessive.                                            
                    Held:  Reasonable compensation for H determined.                  
               See sec. 162(a), I.R.C.                                                


               Philip Garrett Panitz, for petitioner.
