STATETAXLAWS

Board Asks Property Owners Seeking Exemptions to . Tuesday - Session.

State Tax Board members today asked all property owners seeking tax exemptions under, new laws to attend a meeting at 2 p. m. Tuesdey in the Indiana House of Representatives chamber. The Board also is to confer with county assessors and . auditors on tax exemptions when those officials open a three<day conference here

Monday. All Indiana county and

township officers now are holding their annual convention at the Claypool Hotel. : Seeks New Listings + Passed by the 1937 Legislature, the Series of new tax exemption laws seeks to place on the tax duplicates

~ by March 1, 1944, all income-pro-

ducing tangible property of educational, - charitable, religious, fraternal, literary and scientific organ=izations not occupied by the institutions and not used exclusively for purposes of those institutions.

Although the present tax exemp-|

tion is to apply until 1944 on institution property obtained by mortgage foreclosures, the new acts set up a system of annual applications for the exemptions.

Boards to Decide

The various county boards of review and the State Tax Board have the right to approve or reject these applications for exemptions. It was explained that unless institutions

file exemption claims on their in- _ ~tome-producing property with coun-

ty auditors by March 1, the property automatically is to go on the tax duplicates. Property used exclusively for educational, charitable, fraternal, scientific, educational or religious purposes does not have to be listed in the statements, and is to remain exempt. Purpose of the new acts, it was explained, is eventually to place revenue-producing property of these Institutions, such as office buildings and hotels, on the tax duplicates

since these holdings are in- compe-

tition with private. enterprises.

The attorneys maintain that the 1893 law gave Newcastle the right to construct a municipal plant and that the act never has been repealed.

Indication that the City would :

depend upon this old statute was given in Randolph Circuit Court ‘when Judge Alonzo Bates granted the municipal attorneys permission to withdraw their old answer and file a new one,
