SEEK AVOIDANCE OF
PARSONAGE TAXES
Churches Would Have Them
CIassed as Benevolent Inst.
tutions and Escape Rates

- The action of the county board -ef
abatement in deciding that the Payne
avenue Salvation Army barracks is
not subject to- taxation has resulted
in considerable agitation against the
practice of assessing the residences Of
ministers and priests in charge of the
local churches.
The decision that the Salvation
Army shall not be taxed, although us
ing part of its building as residence,
because it classes itself as benevo-
lent association, has shown some of
the parties interested "a way in. which
it may be possible to secure -exemp
ton for the residences used by the
ministers and owned by the congrega-
tons. 1t is set forth that it should be
easy to secure a ruling that church,
not being a money making venture, lis
a benevolent institution.
Exempts Societies
A strong ground for hope as to a ia
vorable outcome is based upon the re-
cent ruling of the county attorney that
the property of the benevolentskasse-
Citations, including the Woodmen, the
Elks, the Masons and other societies
could not be taxed. All such property
had been placed on the rolls by Coun-
ty Assessor Conley. but upon the
strength of this ruling was taken off,
and it is believed that having been
made aware of the condition of the
law the churches will seek to be class
ed as benevolent associations, instead
of as religious denominations, follow
ing the line laid down in the action of
the abatement board in the Salvation
Army case
Up to the Auditor
1t is not thought likely that the
board of abatement has the power to
act on the matter, and it is beyond the
power Of the assessor to change the
tax rolls. If this view is correct the
entire responsibility devolves upon
County Auditor Krahmer, who, under
the law, has the power to change the
assessments after they have. been act
ed upon by the boards of equalization
and abatement.
All parsonages in the city are as
sessed,' said Deputy Assessor Peter
son yesterday, ut having been the
practice for some years to make the
religious denominations pay taxes
upon all property not used exclusively
for religious purposes"
legal phases of the proposal that if a
building used as a residence by the
Salvation Army can escape taxation
upon the theory that it is owned by a
benevolent association, it would also
be possible to put the parsona ges in
the same class. rs .99n35A !
