No More Property Tax
For Religious Groups
Declares Kenai Council
The Kenai City Council has
amended Ordinance No. 8 (pro
viding for taxation of real prop
erty) to add a provision for ex
emption of property used exclu
sively for religious purposes.
The amending paragraphs now
piovide that all real property
owned by religious or missionary
organizations, bodies, institutions,
associations, or persons in re
ligious authority (also referred
to as religious organizations in
the amendment) shall be exempt
from taxation for each taxable
year in which said property is
used exclusively for religious pur
poses, activities or pursuits.
All religious organizations are
■now required to file with the
city clerk-treasurer, an affidavit
sworn to or affirmed by proper
authority requesting exemption,
and stating full name of organi
zation, its purpose and the assess
or’s description of the property
for which exemption is requested.
Exemption shall not be granted
in absence of such affidavit.
The municipal assessor shall
assess such property at its true
and full value in the same man
ner as other taxable property
and shall enter upon the annual
assessment roll the notation “Ex
empt for religious purposes.”
Property of religious organiza
tions shall cease to be exempt if
any part shall be rented or used
otherwise for commercial pur
poses or deemed by the assessor
not to be used exclusively for
religious purposes, activities or
pursuits and shall be subject to
taxation. It shall be the respon
sibility of the religious organiza
tion to demonstrate that the prop
erty is so used, and appeal shall
be made to the Board of Equali
zation.
The City of Kenai may, how'
ever, honor exemptions if any
rental or commercial use, or any
part thereof, shall be considered
to be in the public interest.

The Head Pin Tournament be

The ambulance, a used vehicle,

into operation.
Morasse said a new His and

ing formed, with bowling sched
uled for 8:30 p.m. on Wednes
days. Twelve couples, one couple
to a team, make up the league
and only three couples have
signed to date with nine more
needed.
A Wednesday afternoon wom
en’s league also is starting soon.
Businesses that can supply teams
are advised to contact Morasse.
His plea for supervisors for
Bantam and Junior Leagues has
not met with response but he is
still holding Saturdays open for
teenagers and younger players if
