Fight Begun to Tax Greek Letter Frats.

A fight has been begun between the Putnam county board of review at Greencastle and the official representative of the Greek letter fraternities at DePauw university as the result of recent action of the board placing the fraternity property on the tax duplicates. A state law exempts fraternities under the supervision of the college but the board believes this to be unconstitutional. The fraternity representatives will seek to convince the board that so long as other fraternal organizations are exempt it would be unjust to pick out the college organizations and tax them.
