I concur in this opinion with the exception of one point; that is, that the legislative Act, exempting the property of the Housing Authority from taxation, is a valid exemption. This exemption from ad valorem taxes is not, in my opinion, within the power of the Legislature under Section 1 of Art. IX of the Constitution. Otherwise I concur.
