Bill Against Powder Trust Nears Court Filing
The Department of Justice plans to file a bill in the U S Circuit Court at Cincinnati against the powder trust within one to two weeks. The action may align with the Standard Oil case strategy and could be delayed pending unresolved issues in that matter. Assessor Griffin denies tax exemption for 917 Street NW property used by the Beltimore Conference Home Missionary Society. The property is not a place of worship charity or an educational institution under current exemption law. Commissioner West urges council to issue a legal opinion on the exemption application before Commissioners Bloom.
