Good Samaritan Hospital Ass'n v. Glander
The Good Samaritan Hospital Assn. of Sandusky, Ohio, Appellant, v. Glander, Tax Commr., Et Al., Appellees
Opinion of the Court
Per Curiam.
As the record discloses that since on and before tax-lien day 1950 the property in question, acquired by appellant for use for a charitable purpose, was undergoing repairs and remodeling to condition it for the charitable use for which it was acquired, and there being nothing in the record to show that during such time it had been used for a noneharitable pur *509 pose, the Board of Tax Appeals was in error in denying the exemption. Its decision is unlawful and unreasonable and is, therefore, reversed.
Decision reversed.

PER CURIAM.
As the record discloses that since on and before tax-lien day 1950 the property in question, acquired by appellant for use for a charitable purpose, was undergoing repairs and remodeling to condition it for the charitable use for which it was acquired, and there being nothing in the record to show that during such time it had been used for a noncharitable purpose, the Board of Tax Appeals was in error in denying the exemption. Its decision is unlawful and unreasonable and is, therefore, reversed.
Decision reversed.
