Individual Details

Frederick Lawrence Spear

(20 Oct 1892 - 31 Dec 1950)

"The decision was in an action of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan organization which operates a hospital and old people's home here. Judge Spear upheld Its plea for tax exemption. At the same time, he criticized the philosophy behind the exemption statute, contending that in effect it compels taxpayers to contribute to support of charitable and religious Institutions which they otherwise would ignore."
