It uses the real property in question for rental purposes and profit. It does not, therefore, come under the first part of section 4, subdivision 6 (formerly 7) of the Tax Law (Cons. Laws, ch. 60). The property is not used exclusively for charitable or benevolent purposes, and it is not used exclusively for meetings, and the net income is not used exclusively to build and maintain a home for the members of the corporation; therefore, the real property is not exempt under the second part of section 4, subdivision 6.
