TENTH AND FIFTEENTH-ST. BUILDINGS
ARE EXEMPT.

Justice McAdam. in the Supreme Court. yes
terday sustained the writ of certiorar obtained by
the Salvation Army for the review OF the assess
ment placed by the Commissioners Of Taxes and
Assessments upon the property OF the order at
No 3I6 East Fifteenth-st. and at No. 12o TO 124
West Fourteenth-st.. amounting to $4,000. The
Salvation Army claimed exemption on the ground
that the Fifteenth-st. property used home
and that the Fourteenth-st. building was used
solely for religious purposes.

that the Fourteenth-st building should be taxed TO
some extent, the ground floor was used for the
sale books and periodicals.. and not for religious
objects II admitted that the Tax COInmls-
soners had made mistake in assessing the tlt-
