IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
COUNSEL FOR UNIVERSITY FIFE
BRIEFS IN THE YALE TAX CASE.

Claims of Appellant Strongly Presented
Hoyt Divorce Case Still on Trial-Com-
mon Pleas Cases-City Court Record.
Yale university, through it's attorneys,
Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol, filed yester-
day its reasons for appeal from the
decision of the board of relief, which
decided that dormitories of the univer-
sity rented to students were liable to
| taxation.
The report sets forth the policy of the
town and state since an early day of
exempting college dormitories from tax
alton. The statement then examines
the investments in the dormitories now
proposed to be taxed and shows that
they are not purely business invest
ments.
Of $4,000 received from the dormito-
ries $4,000 is allowed worthy and needy
students on their tuition. The amounts
received from the four buildings are
argued not to be income under the old
charter and present statutes, and so are
exempt from taxation. The statement
says:
For period Of nearly two hundred
years, from the erection of Yale Col
lege,' in lit, down to the additions Of
the appellants tax list attempted to be
made by the board of assessors of the
town of New Haven in 1895, no claim
was ever made that said buildings so
occupied by said students for living,
study and sleeping rooms, or any of
| t., 1ya
way for similar purposes, were liable to
taxation, nor were said buildings or any
one Of them during all that period ever
in fact taxed, or set in the list of the
town of New Haven or elsewhere for
that purpose"
The exhibits attached set out the rules
for occupation of students rooms, tut
ton bills rendered with room rent, etc.,
to prove that the dormitories are not
occupied on any ordinary contract and
are purely in connection with college
study. A list Of the prices charged is
also appended.
1t is expected the case will be tried at
an early date.
| HOYT DIVORCE CASE.
The Hoyt divorce case was again on
Roraback yesterday and lasted the day
1 out, and was continued until to-day at
$3.50. Mr.. Hoyt, the defendant, was
called to the stand by the plaintiff to
testify as to the value of his property.
For the defence Mrs. Georgiana Hand
ley was called and testified to caring
for the boy during his illness, because
he had no mother to care for him, but
she denied having had improper rela-
lions with Hoyt,
John Handley, the husband, testified
to knowledge of his wife's visits to Hoyt
and that she taught music to his daugh-
ter, and he said that he had never OBJ
| jected to them.
Mrs. Mary Sevie then testified to hav-
ing worked for Hoyt, but denied that
they were improperly intimate At the
afternoon session a few more witnesses
testified, after which court adjourned
to $3.50 a. m. to-day.
