Opinion of the Court
■' This certiorari brings up for review assessments by the Boroiigh of Haddonfield against the property of the Bancroft School for the year 1930 and the judgment of the state ■board of taxes and assessment affirming those assessments. The taxes assessed aggregate $1,700.16. The Bancroft School, located in the borough of Haddonfield, is a school for backward and mentally defective children and was established a number of years ago by Miss Bancroft. In 1928, the prosecutor was incorporated as an association not for pecuniary profit and all the assets of the prior corporation were turned over to the new corporation.
The property of this corporation from time to time has been exempt, and at other times failed of exemption as the provisions of the statute were changed.
The present application is based upon chapter 42 of the laws of 1929, under the paragraph providing that all buildings used for schools, when said school is not operated for profit but is a charitable institution, are exempt from assessment.
