ASSESSMENT OF UNIVERSITY PROPERTIES FOR REAL ESTATE TAXES (19) As reported to the Board of Trustees on May 16, 1942, the assessors of Cunningham Township and Champaign Township assessed the Mini Union Building, the Men's Residence Halls, Mini Hall (the former Student Center Building), and the Arcade Building, for 1942 real estate taxes. T h e title to these buildings was, at that time, in the University of Illinois Foundation. By authority of the Board of Trustees, the University Counsel was instructed to take any and all steps necessary to assist the Foundation in having the properties removed from the assessment rolls. Judge Sveinbjorn Johnson, who has served as Counsel for the Board of Trustees and the University of Illinois Foundation in this litigation, submits the following report, which I recommend be incorporated in the records of the Board. The judicial precedent thus established, if not appealed from, or if appealed from, not reversed, is of the greatest importance to the University and should be preserved and fully indexed in the records of the Board. These properties were also assessed for 1943 and 1944 taxes, so that the decision, if it stands, means that the University will not be required to pay approximately $80,000 in taxes for these three years. •This group may be replaced by prescribed courses in physical education, music, and library work.
