The fate of the measure which
means 80 much to the Grays Harbor
country trembled in the balance more
than once before it got by the House.

voted to debate on the measure. Rep.
resentatives Dan Pearsall and Reu.

final week of the session with their
calendars clear and 1t was generally
accepted that the big work Of the ses-

MANHATTAN HOSPITAL
MUST PAY BACK TAX
At Least. Moses Taylor Must
DO So Under Justice Blanch-
ards New Order.

Supreme Court Justice Blanchard has
decided that the Manhattan Maternity
and Dispensary at 33l East Sixtieth
street must pay taxes to the city from
the period when the site was acquired
in February, 1909. until the building
was occupied as "A hospital in 1907.
The decision is based on the contention
OF Assistant Corporation Counsel orion
that the donor Of the hospital held legal
title to the property until II was trans
ferred to the corporation. and that while
his representative was under moral obli-
CATION to use the property for charitable
purposes. he was under no legal obliga-
ton to do so.
The litigation arose from the fact that
about fifteen years ago II. e. A. Taylor
ave s200, 900 to his son. Moses, for the
the purpose of establishing a maternity
hospital. Mr.. Taylor took his time
o performing the task. because he
had no idea that the property would be
subject to "A tax In the meantime, and
believed that the actual erection OF the
hospital would progress faster under his
w management tndn uluef tne direC-
ton of a board of trustees. While the
corporation was created in 1901 the title
remained in Mr.. Taylor's NINE until II,
was transferred 10 The corporation in
1907. Mr.. Taylor admitted that the
property would have been transferred
to the corporation long before 1907 II he
hadn't overlooked the fact that owner
ship was still vested IN him.
While the city conceded that Mr.. Tay-
lor was not guilty Of any breach OF
trust. the purpose OF pressing the right
to collect taxes on the property was ex-
pressed as follows:
Claims to exemption are multitudin-
ous. and many have to be denied because
improper under the statute. But the
rule as to legal ownership does AFFORD
a starting point OF some certainty in
determining the merits OF a claim. II
equitable interests in property could be
substituted for the legal interest. the
way would be open to all sorts Of I'M
proper n questionable claims. pre-
sented years after the taxes were as
sessed to the legal owner. and the oppor-
tunlty for imposition and fraud upon the
city would be vastly increased. The
city's law department would have to be
greatly augmented at the public ex-
to investigate and pass upon such
claims the certainty of the clty's rev.
emu would be seriously impaired. and
the exemptions OF private enterprises
from a share OF public burdens. now all
too numerous, would be greatly in
creased In number and In aggregate
