Citizens of the town of Wellesley are complaining at the amount of property exempt from taxation held by the college at Wellesley. It is claimed that Wellesley holds more property exempt from taxation than any other college except one in the State in proportion to the valuation of the town in which it is located, and no other college in the State holds as much real estate exempt from taxation as Wellesley College. The college already holds property to the amount of $826,000 exempt, and the citizens opposed to its holding any more land, which would not only be a loss to the town by being exempt from taxation, but would forever prevent such lands from being improved.
