ORDER EXEMPTION.
Commissioners Say Norway-Sweden
Property Shall Be Free Of Taxes.


The Commissioners stated today that they
will direct the assessor to exempt from
taxation the property used as a legation
for the government of Norway and Sweden,
and owned by Mr.. Johan Anton WoH
Clip, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary from that government to
the United States. Secretary Hay of the
State Department, in reporting on the
question decided that the property should
be exempt and the Commissioners will act
In accordance with the Secretary's report.
The property in question is known as
premises 2117 street northwest. During
the past two years Mr.. Grip has owned ana
occupied house No. 2109 street, which
has been exempt from taxation. About TWO
weeks ago Mr.. Grip disposed of the latter
house and purchased No PIT street, the
title to the property being in the name OF
"Johan Anton Wolff Grip, envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary." A
question arose in the assessors Office as
to whether the property is owned by Mr..
Grip individually, or by the government he
represents.
The records show that the title to Mr..
own name, and, 1t is stated, the transac-
ton involving the transfer Of the Two
properties resulted in a pecuniary advan-
tage to either the minister or to his govern
ment, whichever owns the legation prop
erty. Several citizens of the District called
attention to this matter and protested that
if the representative of Norway and Swe-
den proposed to deal in real-estate his prop
erty should not be exempt.
The District authorities conceded that
the property should be exempt from taxa
tlon if owned and used by the government
of Norway and Sweden. but If it were the
individual property of the minister that the
matter was one for different treatment.
