Property Owned by Local
Church and Rented by
It Is Taxable.
STATE MAKES A DECISION
NORTH A STREET FRIENDS,
Therefore, MUST PAY FOR
PROPERTY ON WHICH aUSi.
NESS COLLEGE STANDS,

= The question as to whether real es-
tate owned by religious societies but
not used strictly for church purposes
is exempt from taxation has recently
been brought up anew in Wayne coun-
ty and the board of review at it's re.
cent session had it's attention called
to the case of the North A Streel
Friends church which owns the school
property just adjoining the church
proper, but which is not used by the
congregation.
The school property is rented or
leased for educational purposes The
county officers were disposed to BE-
lieve however and have always been
of the opinion that since the revenue
derived from the rental went into the
church treasury direct, that the prop.
erty was exempt.
The matter was referred to the state
tax board and according to the opinion
of Secretary Reed of the board the
property in question is taxable.
County Attorney Robbins has been
examining the statutes with reference
to the matter and informed the coun.
ty officers yesterday that the property
leased for educational purposes is tax
able. Members of the congregation
like the taxing officers, have always
been Of the opinion that the school
property should not be listed and II
is likely that there may be test OF
the matter in a friendly proceeding.

City Has Not Paid Light Plant
a Cent Since Last February
for the Reason that It Had
No Ready Cash.
CITY MAY BE BROKE
BY FIRST OF. OCTOBER
City Now Has Only $50, 600 to
Meet All Expenses and This
Will Be Gone Before Taxes
Come in.

Richmond will be broke" by the
first Of October; public improvements
are at standstill; the city has ceased
paying itself for illumination. Prob
ably the most conservative admins.
tration Richmond ever has had is pull.
ing on the reins of expense. With
only 5000 out Of which salaries and
accounts must be met. it is believed
in official circles. that Richmond will
be juggling her last quarts a week
or SO before taxes begin coming in.
Although all foreign bills have been
paid the city is chuckling itself under
the chin by letting it's light bill run
on.
Under the present law the munich
pal light plant surplus cannot be ap
piled to general fund but must be
accredited to special fund which pro
hibits its use for any other than that
in connection with the light plant
The $4,000 which the plant has made
is beyond the reach of municipal fling
ers. The administration, although
able to borrow money, refuses to take
this step at present: hence the check
ing of improvements.
Democrats Get Blame.
The administration gives as the
causes of this embarrassing situation
the fact that the outgoing sadministra
tion left about $4,000 Of unfinished
work for which they had made nc
provisions for payment; and that they
reduced the tax rate and cut down thu
appropriations.
The administration Is not uproarous
" happy over the situation, but de
clares that they will not borrow and
that the city must suffer In the lacl
Of seasons improvements.
Officials declare that every depart
ment is In order; that there is no rea
seriousness to the situation; but thal
1t is q bit unusual.
Already the city has gone in debt t.
itself to the extent Of $1,545 on iti
light bill. The city In its agreement
with itself pays about $50 . year FOL
each street light Since February
these payments have stopped. Office
holders say they can afford to owe thu
light plant better than any one elise
there won't be any interest charged

PROVIDE SPECIAL TAX TO
INSURE AGAINST DISEASE
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. May 8. - Legislative
provision for special tax on pay rolls
to provide for insurance against tuber-
culosis was one of the suggestions
made tonight by DR.. Lee X. Frankel
at the meeting of the advisory coun-
Gil Of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
which is holding its sixth annual meet
ing in this city.
DR.. Frankel spoke on the subject
Insurance Against tuberculosis" He
pointed out that it is feasible to in
sure against sickness, but unless some
method by which every workingman
would be obliged to insure were devils
ed, the very classes among whom tu-
berculosis is most prevalent would not
be reached by this insurance because
rates would be too high He advocat-
ed the formation of local municipal or
county departments who should col
lect taxes based on the pay rolls of
employers of labor and who should use
this fund for the care of tuberculosis
workingmen.
Instead Of compelling the payment
of premiums on the part of employees"
said DR.. Frankel, "it might be perfect
ly feasible and constitutional to have
a special tax based on the payrolls of
employers of labor. this tax to be fixed
and graded according to the amount
of the pay roll and probably also ac-
cording to the risks of the industry
with reference to tuberculosis. Thus,
for instance, dutsy trades would he
required to pay larger proportional
tax than trades where the risk of get
ting tuberculosis was not so large"

SOCIETY MUST DO ITS
WORK BY ADVERTISING
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, May 3--A paper which
caused considerable discussion, was
read before the Sociological Section by
James Jenkins, Jr., of Brooklyn, today
at the sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. Mr.. Jen-
kins insisted that the chief function
of local anti-tuberculosis association
was educational and not remedial
The society must do its work by
means of exhibits, lectures, posters,
newspaper articles, he said, and in
many other ways. Another function
of the association must be that Of
giving inspiration and suggestion to
others. MIR. Jenkins contended that
the tuberculosis Committee in Brook
lyn. of which he is the secretary. had
done its best work when it secured
the assistance of the city, private hos
pitfalls and others in doing work which
the committee itself could never un-
dertake.
He recommended in raising funds to
secure large number of small dona-
tions rather than a few large ones,
and advised special collections in
churches and Sunday schools for spe-
cial kinds of work. In conclusion he
said:
"In some localities the situation is
such that a tuberculosis committee is
really forced to do certain amount of
relief work. but the responsibility for
this relief, even If initiated by the
committee. should be placed as soon
as possible on the shoulders Of some
regular relief organization. which per-
haps is not fulfilling its entire duty to
the public"
