LOCAL EXEMPTS Get THEIR
USUAL REDUCTION THIS YEAR.
Collector Hall Says He Has Not Been Notified of Any Decision Of
the Supreme Court and Where Tax Bills Call for $500 Re-
duction He Allows H.

The exempts in this city will not be
taxed the full amount this year.
When asked whether he was allowing
the usual $500 exemption or not, Con-
rad Hall, Collector of Revenue, said
he has not yet received official notice
of the Supreme Courts decision IN
the tax exemption case. His informa-
tion. he says, is from the newspaper 8
which gives him no authority to act.
He SAYS ne has received complaints
about the exemption. Some who were
entitled to the $500 exemption did not
get it as the assessors, in some in
stances, overlooked the privilege and
others, who did not have the right
previously, presented bills with ex-
emption. Mr.. Hall says the assessors
make the allowance for the veteran
or f1eman's taxation and the com
plants received by him are about the
assessors work. No orders from an
official source have yet been received
and as the assessors did their work
before Justice Fort gave his decision,
no exemption privilege has been taken
away yet for that reason.
Mr.. Hall says he has noticed in
stances where the exempts have been
assessed the full amount and others
where the usual reduction has been
made, but as it is not in his power to
deduct or add he simply turns over
all complaints to the commissioners
of Appeal. The complaints from men
who have not received exemption on
$500 worth of property are not many
in number. By next year the decision
will be taken to the Court of Errors
and Appeals.
