Welcomed Into Church Tax Exemption Denied
In Columbus Indiana the Lakeside Congregational Church faced denial of property tax exemption for a municipal garage used for church activities. The board held the garage could serve only a few and noted a Supreme Court ruling against exemptions for municipally owned transportation facilities. Columbus must pay about 11,000 in 1956 taxes. Lakeside argued the facility aided charity, but the board rejected this, confirming the exemption denial and a 2,100 yearly levy.
