(1959) Since each year's tax assessment is a separate determination and statutory provisions for review thereof are adequate, equity will not intervene because similar issues in successive years may be involved. Cupples-Hesse Corp. v. Bannister (Mo.), 322 S.W.2d 817.

(1979) Where a part of a building owned by a not-for-profit hospital was used for hospital purpose and a part for private medical practice, only the portion used exclusively for purposes purely charitable and on a not-for-profit basis would be exempt from property tax.
