From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 As Homer never did anything for Yale 1t appears that Yale does not propose to do anything for Homer or any of those old fellows who wrote and sung two thousand years ago. They are dead and the language is dead, and they are to be abandoned to their fate.

quently l am of the opinion that the two
homes are subject to assessment and tax
alton.
Lot ot Wawasct and Jackson streets,
in Wilmington, owned by the 81. Vincent
and st. Paul Society, and a farm IN
Bhckbird hundred owned 10y the 81. Jo-
seph's Colored School-lt Is clear to my
mind that neither Of these properties
come within the definition of property
used for school purposes / am there
fore of the opinion that they are liable TO
assessment and taxation.
The Ursulinc Academy ann informed
that at this academy tuition is charged
to pupils. THIS beng the ease it is clear
to my mind that the property owned by
this academy is liable TO assessment and
taxation.
The real estate owned by the German
Catholic Church aud school bounded by
Madison. Tenth and Monroe strectsl is
exempt from taxation if no tuition i'
charged to pupils attending the school
The whole premises are evidently used
for church and school purposes and or
dinariiy would be exempt from assess
ment and taxation. II, however, they
charge for pupils in the scnool, that ir
my opinion, would render the schoo
property To assessment and taxation.
The building known as the City Mar
ket House, occupying a portion of the
bed of Second street between Marke
and King streets, was built and is owne'
by the City Market House Company, an,
] am clear in my mind that the building
should be ASSESSED Go the City Markc
House Company, and l do not under
stand why it ever was assessed other
wise. The land unon which the building
stands belongs TO the city of Wilmington
n municipal corporation, and the genera
principal of law is that real estate owne,
10y municipality Dis not liable TO eithe
county or state taxation My conclusion
therefore. is that the land should not be
assessed but tnat the building should be
assessed TO the City darkct House Com
pany, the present owner.
