Want to Declare CleveIand's
Birthplace Exempt from Taxes

Claiming that the birthplace of Gro
yer Cleveland at Bloomfield avenue
near Arlington avenue, Caldwell, is
exempt from taxes. the members Of
the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Me-
mortal Association filed petition
with the County Board of Taxation to
that effect today. The land and house
are valued at $s 900, and strip of land
adjoining, valued at $4,000 The tax
on the first amounts to $175.20 and on
the strip of land the assessment is
$65.70.
The house was formerly used as the
parsonage for the Presbyterian
Church, of which Grover Cleveland's
father was pastor. The contention of
the association is that the land was
not taxed heretofore and that as they
are not using 1t for pecuniary gain, it
should not be taxed. Decision on the
matter was reserved until the board
looks up the law on the question.
