County Officials Order Exempt Buildings Returned To List Efforts of county officials to tafo» certain local properties from the “tax-exempt” list and to pkuce them bac-k -on the taxable list has created a ticklish local controversy which may require tax experts to decide, it -was revealed here this -week. According to Borough Assessor Guy Brubaker, county officials specifically directed that several properties here which have been kept off the taxable list for Tears, be put on the list this year. -One of these is the residence occupied by M. C. Demmy, supervising principal of the borough school, located on ¡Spruce Street and owned by the school district While the property was placed on the list this year, the tax levied has not as yet been paid. Another property put on the taxable list is the (office of the Denver & Ephrata Telephone Company.

There Is considerable doubt that this property will remain on the taxable list. | Another property around which a 'controversy is raiging is the new barn of the Linden Hall College. The question of what if any part of Linden Hall Can be taxed came up several years ago ait which time borough council decided to submit tax bills to Linden Hall and to let the matter be decided in court. At some time since then, it was di-s-closed this week, the borough made a right-about-face and removed all Linden Hall properties from the taxable list. This Spring» however, the new barn was taxed but school officials have refused to consider this property any different from the others.
