    7  otherwise  known  as  section  116, block 2, lot 1.1.   If accepted, the
    8  applications shall be reviewed as if they had been received on or before
    9  the taxable status date established for such roll.

   11  such  exemption  if it had acquired such property and filed applications
   12  for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date,  the  assessor  of
   13  the village of Goshen may upon approval by the board of trustees of such
   14  village  and the assessor of the town of Goshen may upon approval of the

   16  assessment roll and owing by such corporation on the effective  date  of
   17  this  act,  and make appropriate correction of the subject roll. If such
