DAMAGE SUIT
IS REVERSED
Case Growing Out Of
Death Of Locke To Be
Tried in January

The supreme court has reversed
the Judgment of Judge P. A. Nc
Elroy in the superior court here
in the case of Mrs. r. Julia Ball,
executrix of the estate of Percy
st. J. Locke, in which the plain
tiff is seeking to recover S25, 900
from the City Of Hendersonville
and the Board of Financial Con-
troll of Buncombe county for the
death of Mr.. Locke.
When the case was heard here
Judge McElroy sustained a de-
murrer on the part of the board
of control on the grounds that the
plaintiff had failed to state cause
of action against this defendant
as the board was created by an
act of the legislature to exercise
governmental and administrative
functions only and was not SUBJ
iect to be sued in tort.
The decision of the supreme
court reversed this ruling and the
case is expected to be tried in the
January term of the court here.
The plaintiff was seeking $685.
600 damages as the result Of the
death of Mr.. Locke who died fol-
lowing a fall down a stairway
leading from the street to a bar
Der shop under the First Bank
e. Trust company building, which
is owned by the board Of control.

duce long distance rates to 1.3

MES, through c. B. De Berry,
