Nearly $ 200 in CharlOtte-BiG
List of Church.. school and Public
Property Upon Which no Taxes
Are Levied.

There are nearly two million dollars
of taxable property in Charlotte which
by law is safe from the hands Of the
tax collector. Section g. of the ma
chinery act requires that each assessor
shall. hen making the assessment
roll for his district. enter on the blanks
so furnished to him in regular order,
in the name of the owner if KNOWN,
M from the best information he can
OBTAIN, a correct description of all real
and personal property then exempt
from taxation in his town or assess
ment district. together with a state
1nent OF Its value. for what purpose
used, and the rent. if any, obtained
therefor. The list of such exempt
property when completed. and on or
before the first day of September. shall
be delivered by the assessor TO the reg
lister Of deeds, who, on or before the
first day OF November next thereafter,
shall make duplicates thereof and
transmit such duplicates TO the cor
poration commission and file the orig
inal in his office. :
This information. presumably. is
wanted merely to show the amount of
exempt property in the state and
Mecklenburg has a good share. The
tax assessors yesterday completed the
list of worcestershire property IN
Charlotte and the list follows. 1t will
be seen that if the city water-works
property could be assessed for taxation
the tax collector would get a pretty
good sum from that source. The First
PreSbyterianS would be called on to-
pay axes on property assessed at
S145, 900; the Presbyterian college would
lave TO pay on $50. 900 assessment and
the Elizabeh college on $50. 900. The
pOStoffice an dmint would come in for
$3.50. 900. The assessment on the num-
erOuS colOred churches would support
the city government for a year.-Char-
lotte Observer.
