The sun., 1901-10-23

In most harmonious manner the Levy
Court transacted much business yestcr-
day, an occurrence in striking contrast
with the acrimonious debate that has
marked the sessions of the body for sew
eral weeks past. Probably the most i'm
portant business was the settlement of
the question involving the assessment Of
property held by churches, and used for
charitable and religious purposes and
for free schools. A list Of properties
were ordered to be stricken from the
assessment lists, making a total exemp
ton OF $S5,356.
On motion of Mr.. Willitts the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas, There appears on the tax
records Of the receiver Of taxes various
properties belonging to charitable institu
tons, churches, duplicate assessments,
and properties exempt by special act of
the Legislature, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the following list OF
properties be ordered stricken from the
books OF the receiver of taxes and that II
list be furnished the assessors in various
districts so that they may leave them
from their assessment Exceptions were
made in some eases on this list, on which
the courts attorney is to give a decision.l
