state Legislature. to enact the 10-year
tax-free ordinance which reared $780,

housing emergency, the appellate di-
vision unanimously ruled today. revers-
ing the recent decision of Justice John

ute and ordinance were unconstitu-
tional.
Writing the opinion of the court,
Justice Victor bowling asserted the
legislation was neither local" nor
discriminatory" as was complained
by the Hermitage Company. plaintiffs
in an action to test the legality of the
laws.
The realty corporation obtained from
Justice Tierncy an injunction restrain
ing city assessors from eXempting
property tax free under the mergency
building or ordinance. Had the injunc-
ton been upheld. $4,000 new buildings
would have gone on the tax rolls to add
S6.5O0,000 to the city's income this
Year.
Besides vacating the injunction. to-
days decision was a verdict for three
realty firms plaintiffs in test suits to
have the tax free code upheld and to
compel their clients to accept title to
property contracted for under it's pro-
visions.
