CHAPTER 139.

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS

AN ACT FOR THE RELIEF OF SARAH ANN WHITE HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM COLORED PERSONS.

Whereas "Sarah Ann White Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons," a corporation of the State of Delaware, was organized for the relief of such aged and infirm colored persons who are unable to maintain themselves and are dependent on the charity of others;

And Whereas the work accomplished by said corporation is carried on by charitable bequests and legacies, and by voluntary contributions from private persons, which are insufficient for the purposes of said corporation;

Therefore be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Delaware in General Assembly met:

Section 1. That any and all property now held, or that may hereafter be acquired in any manner by the said corporation, together with any and all gifts, devises, bequests or legacies, to it, in any manner hereafter given, are and shall be exempt from all taxes, assessments and abatements whatsoever, for State, County, Municipal or other purposes, so long as the same is held or used for the charitable purposes for which the said corporation was instituted.

Section 2. This Act shall be deemed and taken to be a public Act and the power to revoke the same is hereby reserved to the General Assembly.

Approved March 14, A. D. 1901.
