MATTER OF TAXATION.
Plea for Exemption of Land Owned by
Catholic Society

The Commissioners yesterday gave a
hearing to the sisters of the Immaculate
Seminary, Brookland, relative to the tax
ing of a tract of land owned by them and
which they propose to use for recreation
purposes for the students at the school. Ac-
cording to the ruling of the assessor of the
District this land should not be exempt
from taxation, as is requested by the sis
tiers, in view of the fact that it does not
come under the instruction and religious
ruling that the seminary itself comes.
The sisters argued that they considered
it part of their religious school, inasmuch
as it is to be used for the physical training
of the students. The Commissioners con-
cluded the hearing by announcing that
they would consider the matter before
making a decision.
