FOURTH DISTRICT COURT
IMPORTANT DEcIs1oN.--A decision was rem
Tered IN this Court yesterday which will place
! large amount of property liable to taxation,
low exempt, and lessen the burdens of taxa
ion, which have been rendered SO unequal BY
he unwarrantable exercise of power on the part
# Legislative bodies.
The Charity Hospital owns several properties
which are rented out and the revenues are ap-
lied to the purposes of the Institution. The
legislature of 1850 passed law exempting the
property of the Poydras Asylum, the Charity
1ospital and all other charitable institutions in
Jew Orleans from taxation. The city claims
hat this act is in direct violation of the article |
the constitution providing that taxation |
hall be equal and uniform throughout the I
tate" that the Legislature can not exempt any |
roperty from taxation whatever, and particu- |
lrly by statute designating and naming the
arties who are exempted; that this was special
egislation, and is as illegal as would be the at
empt to tax by particular description. The
ecision is: So The only defence is that the pro-
erty is exempt from taxation by law. That
re Charity Hospital itself is EXEMPT from taxa.
