Exemption Repeal Killed.

In the House there was considerable
talk on Mr.. Greenman's bill TO repeal
the law, enacted TWO years ago, to ex-
empt from taxation residence property
belonging TO church societies. Mr..
Greenman declared the law to be
invalid and unconstitutional, and that
his only motive in asking the repeal
was to cut dead wood out of the stat
utes. Mr.. Helbig stated that the law had
been passed merely as convenience
or excuse for assessors. They had been,
he said neglecting 10 assess these resi-
dences. and the law was made that
they might have legislative sanction.
The whole question of church exemp-
tion was pretty well hashed over. pro
and con. after which the enacting
clause of the bill was stricken out.

bodies in the state. The bill does not
seek to take away from the county
commissioners any OF the authority
that they have at present in the work
of road building, but instead aims by
reason Of the creation of the state high
way commission to aid in the road
construction throughout the state, and
to secure some system of uniformity
in the work now being done by the
several counties.
