Dissenting Opinion by

Mr. Justice Allen M. Stearns:

I dissent. The funds of this closed non-sectarian charitable hospital, which had received state aid, should hot be awarded under the

Gy Pres

doctrine to a sectarian charitable hospital, irrespective of how the sectarian hospital is being administered or in what form the award is made. There are other non-sectarian hospitals in reasonable proximity, claimants, who are qualified to receive the fund.
