School Tar The Corporation of Montreal actually levies a tax on estate, sufficient to cover the amount payable by the said ( poration for the support of the schools. This tax, the rate which is fixed by m. Legislature, actually amounts to four ter of a cent m the dollar, on all property owned by Catholics ; to five tenths on neutral property; this tax is imposed, collec and recovered, at the same time, and in the same manner as other city taxes on real estate. Real estate belonging to religious institutions, or corpo tions, of a charitable or educational character, and occup by these institutions or corporations for the ends for which tl base been established, and not owned by them, merely to dr a revenue therefrom, shall be exempt from the City school fc HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL TAX. The first laws concerning the school organization of Moi real had not made any provision for raising any tax, but t care and maintenance of the schools were directly paid for the Municipal Corporation. The by-law of 1867 authorized the collection of a tax, wit out ordering it; the by-law of 1868 obliged the Commission levy a school tax, but without fixing the rate. In 1870 amount tl of the tax was settled on for the first time; it was' oi tenth of a cent on the dollar; it was raised to one fifth in 187 and to one quarter in 1892, finally, to four tenths in 1906 The tax called neutral is raised on real estate belonging i '''''' -^h as Railroad Companies an others^othe'rl" ThetI rateT"'fis five tenths of a cent on the dollar, dmded, and it i according to the respective figures of the Catholic an rrotestant populations. Besides the school tax, the Commission couJd, since 189( exact a monthly school fee. This fee has been abolished sine srnool, ()R(iANisATi()\. 27 xp in good 1907, so that the schools to-day are maintained by the proceeds of the tax on real estate.
