Exemption of Tax on Pension 
T would like to know how the law ap¬ 
plies to the exemption of tax on pension 
money. I live in Suffolk Co.. N. Y. We 
have State- county, and town tax. road 
and light tax: no exemption on school 
tax. Mow does the rest apply where pen¬ 
sion money has been invested in my 
house ? E. L. s. 
New York. 
The tax law of the State of New York 
provides as follows: “Real property pur¬ 
chased with the proceeds of a pension, 
bonus, or insurance granted by the United 
States or by this State for military or 
naval services, and owned by the pen¬ 
sioner, the person receiving the bonus or 
the insured, or by his wife or widow, is 
subject to taxation as herein provided. 
Such property shall be assessed in the 
same manner as other real property in the 
tax districts. At the meeting of the as¬ 
sessors to hear the complaints concerning 
assessments, a verified application for the 
exemption of such real property from tax¬ 
ation may be ppresented to them by or on 
behalf of the owner thereof, which ap¬ 
plication must show the facts on which 
the exemption is claimed, including the 
amount of pension, bonus or insurance 
money used iu or toward the purchase of
