Description
Rehearing denied October 4, 1971. This action was instituted by plaintiff, the Illinois Institute of Technology (I.I.T.), to enjoin defendants from collecting
taxes on a 107-acre tract, including six major buildings, located in McHenry County. Plaintiff contended that the property
was being used exclusively for school purposes, and was therefore exempt from taxation. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 120, par.
500.1; Ill. Const., art IX, sec. 3.) Both parties appeal from the judgment of the McHenry County circuit court which found
67 acres, including the buildings, exempt from taxes for the second half of 1967 and subsequent years, and denied the exemption
as to the other 40 acres. The revenue being involved, this court has jurisdiction of the direct appeal. 43 Ill.2d R. 302(a).
