IS EXEMPT FROM TAXATION No Taxes Paid on Nearly $3O0O- OOO Worth of Property , TAXING BENEVOLENT PROPERTY A Ij'st of tlio Valuable Property In Pouiclaa County From Which No Revenue is De rived , Etc Avoids Taxation Some weeks ago tbo question of the advis ability of taxing tbo property of religions , educational and benevolent institutions was raised in the council AdlvUion took place , ana the matter was deferred Recently the question was rovivea and a resolution was adopted providing for the taxation of all property not ubsolutely used for religious purposes , The property belongs to tbo various scoret societies la the city , has been taxed by both city and county until the present year , when the county commissioners exempted It from taxation A communication was sent to the council by the Masonic temple craft , some time since , asking that the property on the northwest corner of Sixteenth street and Capital avenue , belonging to tbo Masonic fraternity , bo declared exempt Recently Councilman Wboolcr Introduced a resolution exempting tbo property from taxation , but tbo j Judiciary committee of tbo couucil to which the resolution was roferrcd , reported ad- Ycrol" upon it , Mr Wheeler bringing in n minority report in favor of the resolution The majority report was adopted , and so the matter rests , for the present at least Major Wheeler , when questioned about the matter , expressed the opinion that the property was entitled to exemption as much as any church property , Uccuuso all the revenue derived from is devoted entirely to bonovoleut purposes and not to the use of any Individual or Bet of individuals , You never hear of a Mason or an Odd follow becoming a charge upon tbo county , " said the major "Tbeso societies taKe care of the sick and destitute aud bury the dead The fundamoatal principles of both organiza tions Is charity , and their members are never ullovvea to becoino charges upon the county The same cannot bo said of some of tbo churches , nnd therefore I hullovo that the property of these secret societies should not pay taxes as long ns church pioporty Is ex empt There Is none of it used for rostdonco property , as much of tbo church property Is nor is it bold for purely speculative pur poses " Colonel II C. Aikin , president of the Ma sonic temple craft , expressed the same sontl- monts as Major Wheeler , but added that as a matter of strict Justice all property should be taxed allien and then tbero would bo no room for comulaiut "Wo have been paying about $1,400 taxes , " said Colonel Allan , ana would not make any protest , but If church property Is exempt , wo think wo should be , also " In this connection , a decision handed down by Judge Gislinot tbo Eighth district , of this stuto , may be interesting The Oddfel lows and Masons at Hastings refused to pay taxes on tboir lodge build ings , claiming that the Institutions were of a benevolent order and , therefore , exempt The Judge decided that the rooms leased for business purposes were , under tbo law , taxa ble property , while the ledge rooms were exowpt The property at ttio corner of Sixteenth and Capitol avenue , belonging to the Ma sons , Is valued nt $10OOOJ ; that at thocorncr of Fourteenth and Dodge streets , bolonglug to the Oddfellows , is valued ut 140,000' , the property on Saunders street , belonging to Goodrich lodge , I , O , O , P. , Is valued at $00,000 , These are the principal structures owned by tbo local secret orders , und in all of them there are stores which are routed to private parties The following is a list of tbo property in this county which Is not taxed : Tbo value ut a low llguro of tbo reality which is bold by religious associations is estimated atlf s"l,000 ) , und may easily run oror a million The i I sites of * private oducatlonal Institutions 1 uro valued at f.
