COUNTY COURT
TO FACE NEW
TEST CASE

RIVERDALE, Md, Sept. 5.-A
second test case to determine the
legality Of the Prince Georges
county police court will be filed
shortly in the county circuit court
by the recently organized Magis-
trateS' Association Of the county,
Justice Of the Peace Fred w. Lutz
announced yesterday.
In his statement yesterday Lutz
made it clear that the magistrates
case would be entirely different
from that of the one filed by
Robert w. Mccullough, attorney,
Of Cheverly, Md, in police court
Wednesday, when he challenged
Judge George E. Merrick's author
ity to try a drunken driving case
on the grounds that the law crea-
ting the office of county justice
in 1927 was unconstitutional.
Lutz stated the magistrates
would endeavor to prove that an
act of the State Legislature, passed
in 1888, had given back to the
justices of Prince Georges the
right to try traffic cases that had
been suspended by the act of 1927.
In the previous test case, filed
Wednesday, Attorney Mccullough
asked several charges against his
client, Craig Kershow, of Wash
ington, be dismissed because Of
the unconstitutionality of the
legislative act of 1927 that created
the office of police justice.
Upon the advice Of States At
torney Alan Bowie, Judge Mer-
rick, overruled McCullough's plea
and ordered Kershow to stand
trial. McCullough'S request for
continuation of the case until
next Wednesday was granted.

COUNTY FEARS
LOSS OF FIRE
APPARATUS

Possibility Of Arlington county
losing virtually every piece of its
modern fire-fighting equipment
unless more than $4,000 is raised
before the end of the current year
was revealed yesterday in a deci-
sion by Circuit Court Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy.
While county officials would
have no difficulty in securing a
loan to cover this amount, it was
pointed out that under the law
governing the operation of the
county all loans made for such
purposes must be paid up in full
before the end Of the current year
in which it was made.
Payment Halted
Development of the unusual
situation is the result of litigation
pending between the county and
the American La France fire en-
CINE company.
Payment for the 100000 equip.
ment bought from the American
La France Company between 1929
and 1881 was halted by county
officials after the institution Of the
county manager form Of govern
ment here more than four years
ago. The equipment was bought
on notes made payable over a
period of one, two, three and four
years, and at the time payments
were stopped-on the ground that
the county was powerlesS to exc
cute such a contract in face of
the one-year payment provision
about $4,000 of the total amount
had been paid to the manufac-
turerS.
Leaves Question Open
A court battle questioned valid
ity Of the contract and both the
Circuit Court and the State Court
Of Appeals held the contract in
valid.
The higher tribunal, however,
closed its decision with a state
ment that "aS neither the resto-
ration of the equipment, nor
compensation for use Of same
had been raised. we express no
opinion thereon"
Since these angles remained
open for legal opinion, it was on
this ground that the case was
reopened and again carried to the
Circuit Court for restoration Of
the equipment on which the
county refused to complete pay
ments.
Judge McCarthy's decision yes
terday ruled that the equipment
was the property of the Ameri-
can La France Company, but
gave the county the privilege of
having the apparatus put up for
auction. It was also ruled that
the county should receive any
over the price the machinery
would bring at auction. The
court further stated the county
was not obligated to pay any
rent to the manufacturer for the
use Of the apparatus.
Only Alternative
Only one alternative besides
paying the balance of approx
mately $4,000, which does not
include rent or interest on the
debt, would be to appeal the de
cision Of Judge McCarthy's, post
a bond Of approximately 100000
to maintain possession Of the II
pieces Of equipment, and again
carry the fight to the Supreme
Court of the State.
Since the county is apparently
powerless to raise the $4,000 in
this years budget, and it would
be unlawful for them to transfer
funds at this time. it is believed
that the county will have to re-
sort to the appeal in order to con-
tinue the case until it can in
clude the $4,000 in its budget.
