The opinion

Per Curiam.

The record herein does not indicate whether the director of nursing, residents, interns or graudate-nurse employees were required to be in or near the hospital so as to be available on a 24-hour basis or whether any of those employees were, outside of duty hours, required to participate in any of the educational, research, teaching or patient-care programs of the hospital.

Except for the director of nursing, there is nothing to indicate whether the use of the facilities was primarily for residence or for temporary sleeping purposes.

As to the use of the one parcel as sleeping facilities for on-call employees of the laboratory, surgery and X-ray departments, the record fails to show whether this was the principal use of the property for a substantial portion of the year in question, namely, 1964.

On the whole, therefore, there is nothing in the record which removes this case from the rule that the use of property for residence purposes necessarily is a private use of the premises and not a use exclusively for charitable purposes. Doctors Hospital v. Board of Tax Appeals, 173 Ohio St. 283 .

The decision of the Board of Tax Appeals in denying tax exemption is neither unreasonable nor unlawful, and, accordingly, that decision is affirmed.

Decision affirmed.

Zimmerman, Matthias, Herbert and Brown, JJ., concur.

Taet, C. J., O’Neill and Schneider, JJ., dissent.
