City of Newark v. State Board of Taxes & Assessment
City of Newark v. State Board of Taxes & Assessment
Opinion of the Court
Application is made by the city of Newark for a certiorari to review the action of the state board of taxes and assessment in affirming the cancellation by the Essex county board of taxation, of an assessment levied for the year 1929 on real estate owned by Scottish Rite Company.
In the proofs submitted on behalf of the city, as well as by the proofs submitted by respondents, it conclusively appears that the Scottish Rite (owner) comes squarely within the provisions of the statute (Pamph. L. 1927, p. 790) exempting “all buildings actually and exclusively used in the work of associations and corporations organized exclusively for the moral and mental improvement of men, women and children, or for religious, charitable or hospital purposes, or for one or more of such purposes, * * The act further provides that the provisions shall apply only when the building is owned by the association, corporation or institution, authorized to carry out such purposes.
The application for a writ of certiorari is denied.
