  S  76.  Rates charged veteran organizations, VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANIES,

ciation of a school, notwithstanding that secular subjects are taught at
such school, or from a community residence  as  defined  in  subdivision
twenty-eight,  twenty-eight-a  or  twenty-eight-b of section 1.03 of the

site on a twenty-four hour per day basis, that  the  residence  provides
living  accommodations  for fourteen or fewer residents, a rate, regard-
less of the type of service offered, for any  gas  or  electric  service
utilized  exclusively  in  connection  with  such  veteran organization,
VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY, VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE COMPANY or  for  such  reli-
gious  purposes  or  utilized  exclusively  at  such community residence
greater than the  rates  or  charges  charged,  demanded,  collected  or
received  by  such gas corporation, electric corporation or municipality
