Cakes Home Is Taxable.

Judge johnson Of the District Court
at Denver has decided that the Cakes
Home for Consumptives in Denver is
not n charitable institution under the
intent of the law and is therefore not
entitled to exemption from taxation.
The suit was brought by the bishop
and chapel of the Cathedral of St.
John, corporation. against the treas.
urer of Arapahoe county to prevent
the latter from selling the Oakes Home
for delinquent taxes. The amount al
legged to be due under the decision is
s4.943.95, the total on valuation of
$50, 400 in 1901 and s66.720 in 1902. II
is understood that an appeal will be
made from the decision.
In the decision, Judge johnson goes
to great length in his description of
the expensive and luxurious interior
decoration of the home, such as a
plentiful supply of tiled bathrooms and
layatories, well stocked library. and
various up-to.date little comforts for
those who pay Si5 month for room
and board; or 81 per day.
The valuation of the grounds and
buildings is estimated at SlSO,000; the
maintenance of the home and profits
come from the patrons, The officers
and servants make a payroll of Sl7 900
year. and Judge Johnson thinks that
to include the home in the list with
charitable institutions would be I'M
constitutional.
