1Opinion of the CourtCutter, J.
This is an appeal by the Norwood Civic Association (the association) from a decision of the Land Court upon the town’s petition, filed in 1941, to foreclose a tax title to a parcel of land (the locus) with its buildings on Brook Street, Norwood. This tax title was taken by the town in 1937 and covered a parcel of twelve acres plus 22,040 square feet. In 1957, the association filed an amended answer asserting (in addition to other circumstances no longer in issue) that the tax was void because the real estate of the association “was and is exempt from taxation” under G. L. c. 59, _§ 5, Third.
