    8  section  49.55,  block 5, lot 30. If accepted, such application shall be
    9  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
   10  established for such rolls.
   11    If satisfied that New Creation  in  Christ  Ministries,  Inc.    would
   12  otherwise  be  entitled to such exemption if it had filed an application
   13  for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date,  the  assessor  of

   21  such taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining
