EXEMPT FROM TAXES
Judge Shoemaker Rules in Fa-
vOr of Institution on Ground
of Its Character

The Penn Charter School is exempt
from taxation, according to an opinion
filed by Judge shoemaker in the Court Of
Common Pleas No. I today The court
ordered that the city and school directors
of the school district of Philadelphia and
the Receiver of Taxes be onioined from
collecting the taxes now assessed upon
the real estate OF the school.
Judge Shoemaker decreed that the COM
plainant is IAN institution of learning,
maintained by private charity, and that
it's real estate at S and 10 South 18th
street. used exclusively for school pur-
poses. Is exempt from taxation under the
act of March II, l1OS. so long ms the build
ings are maintained and the receipts from
the school are expended in the manner
provided for IN the action of the COM
painant as set forth in the minutes Of
the corporation Of November 2S 1913 and
carried out during the school year of
September /, 1913 to September l. 19li'
Discussing the legal principles involved,
Judge Shoemaker said:
"In Philadelphia VS.. the Overseers, the
Supreme Court decided that the school
house property of the complainant was
not exempt from taxation as n purely
public charity under the provisions of
the state Constitution and the Act of
MAY II, 1874, because Sevcn-ciEhth OF the
receipts of the school conducted therein
were allotted to the hcadmaster, who,
after paying thcreOut the expenses OF
maintaining the school, was entitled to
retain the balance of the receipts re-
naming as his compensation, and the
school was. therefore conducted for the
profit of an individual
The school overseers contcnded that the
obstacle in the way of obtaining eNemp-
tion from taxation had been removed
when in November, 1911 it was recon-
mcnded that in the future the headmaster
"shall not share in any balance remain
ing out OF the receipts of the school after
the paymcnt of expenses, but the entire
revenue shall be applied to its support,
to increase it's efficiency and to make
necessary repairs to its grounds and
buildings and for no other purpose This
minute was subsequently approved and
the headmaster was paid salary by way
of COmpe SatiOn.
The Penn Charter School was inCorpo-
rated in 1855 by the Provisional Council of
PENNSYLVANIA and thereafter sucessively
chartered by William Penn, the founder
Of the Commonwealth, i'm 1901, l7OS and
I'LL. The object of the incorporation was
to establish and maintain public school
wherein the children of the rich mgl>
be educated at reasonable rates and the
poor gratuitously.'
The corporation consists of n board of
overseers of 10 persons. The school was
founded and endowed by private charit-
able gifts. bequests and devises and is
maintained by the tuition fees of its
scholars, by the income from gifts, by
private contributions and To a small eX-
tent, by the proceeds of the sale of school
supplies. There are certain free scholar
ships in the school.
