School Heads Silent
On Court Opinion
|0f Athletic Funds

Arlington school officials today
withheld comment on a Circuit
Court opinion that reports should
be made to students Of funds re-
ceived from school Al Aetic contests.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy, in a
seven-page opinion. yesterday dis
missed mandamus suit of Frank
L. Ball. jr., seeking to compel Super
intendent Fletcher Kemp and other
school officials to deposit School
Athletic Association money with the
County Treasurer.
In so ruling, Judge Mccarthy up
held a demurrer filed by Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence w.
Douglas In behalf of the defendants.
Before disposing of this case, "
Judge McCarthy's opinion read, "the
court desires to comment upon one
allegation contained in the petition
which, on the state of the record,
now appears to be admitted by the
defendants and which If actually
true ought not to be true. The petit
tion says No student is given any
report OF receipt or expenditures of
any of said funds"
Quotes From Textbook.
Quoting from a textbook on school
administration, the jurist said. 1T is
therefore good practice for the board
of education to organize them Gath
letic, lunchroom, dramatic funds,
etc0 upon a sensible basis. Such a
procedure not only Is desirable pro-
lection for the principal but it is a
means of securing both professional
and public confidence"
Mr.. Kemp's Office said the opinion
would have to be studied before any
comment could be made.
Mr.. Balls petition was filed Janu-
ary 2 and County Treasurer John
Locke Green filed an intervening
petition September 3.
They contended the athletic funds
are "set apart for local school pur-
poses" and as such should be
handled by the treasurer and paid
out in the same manner as other
county funds"
Cites Sections of Code.
Judge Mccarthy cited five sections
Of the Virginia Code and declared
they would hardly allow one to say
that 1t was obvious that interscho-
lastic contests are one of the school
purposes in the State of Virginia: !:
nor that money collected therefrom
is manifestly set apart for local
school purposes"
He said the specific question was
one of novel impression" for the
courts but cited previous judicial
opinion to the effect that practical
applications and constructions of
statutes by public officials are at
times regarded as decisive. He also
pointed out that there has been a
session of the General Assembly
since the complaint was filed but
that no effort had been made to
clarity the law.
Others named with Mr.. Kemp as
defendants were former School
Board Chairman John M. Stewart,
Harry Deming. Lloyd McCord, w.
A. Richardson, C. M. Richmond and
Frank Cavalier.

Charter Group
Is Challenged 10
GoBefore Jury .
Noyes Demands Proof
Of Irregularities in
Montgomery County

Alfred D. NJyes, chairman Of the
Montgomery County Democratic
Congress, today challenged the
County Charter Committee to pre-
sent to the grand jury Its charges Of
alleged Irregularities in the opera
ton of the county government.
The challenge was issued in an
swer to list of 16 types of bad
county government" which the
Charter Committee said yesterday
are being practiced by the county
administration.
Declaring the committees charges
are unproven and constitute an at
tempt to smea1 the county Demo-
cratic organization, Mr.. Noyes said:
"If the Charter Committee or any
other citizen of Montgomery County
has proof of the charges -" 1t
has been their duty as citizens .
to present them before the county
grand jury and the courts.
IIoUA VI OHkfutu.
'The fact that they have not
formally, officially or definitely ever
made such charges is further proof
that they are not true"
Mr.. Noyes also said the Charter
Committee admitted that no county
has ever adopted charter like the
one advocated by the committee in
1914. He pointed out that the pro-
posed charter was rejected by the
voters at that time.
''The Democratic Party objects to
Montgomery County being made the
first guinea pig among the $500
counties of the Nation" he asserted.
He pointed out that under the
present form Of government, every
county and State of1cial can be
ousted or reelected by the people.
Under charter form of govern
ment, however, he said, nine-tenths
of all county officials would be life
termers." He added that under the
rejected charter, Tho voters would
have given up their right to elect all
policy-making officials"
Home Rule Advocated.
| In another statement, James w.
Gill, chairman of the Congress
Caucus Committee, announced the
addition of home rule plank to the
county Democratic platform.
He emphasized that the county
commissioners now have real home
rule legislative powers"
The truth Is" Mr.. Gill stated,
that since 1907, no Montgomery law
or ordinance supported by a ma
jority of the representatives elected
by the county voters has failed Of
passage"
He said the commissioners can
enact at Rockville any ordinance
which could "constitutionally" be
enacted under charter form OF
government, except those dealing
with bond issues, taxes or the repeal
of existing laws

GrOtOn News

The Groton Borough has an- nounced the names of the Groton five man committee, who will rep resent the borough on the Greater
 New London Development commis- sion. The following are the ap- pointees: Fred Sweet, prominent Groton plumber; Joe Glidden, pro- gressive burgess and active in the non-partisan League; Judge Will
 liam Hall, burgess, non-partisan;
 Ben Armstron, and Wesley A.
 Cook, local paint contractor. Groton has been going full steam ahead in the reconverSion and is fast coming into the enviable po- sition of being the greatest indus trial district of eastern Connecti- cut. New London had better look sharp on the curves or she will find herself far out-distanced by these Groton huStlerS.
 The Groton Non-Partison League in it's last meeting discussed two vital propositions now before the public-a hospital for Groton-and the opening of Mitchell Street for commerce.
 With the building of another large plant in Groton the dire need
 of a hospital on our side of the river has almost become a neces-
 sity. It seems logical and wise to
 have an already established hospi-
 tai staff such as the Home Memo
 rial rebuild and expand its facili-
 ties here in Groton.
 The N0n-Partisan Lea gu c
 agreed that it would not start a petition for the commercializing
 of Mitchell Street, but that if such
 petition was started that they
 would give it hearty support and aid.
 The next meeting Of the League
 will be held on Tuesday evening February 18th, at 7:30 p. m., at the

GrOtOn Speaks
By Charles Chapman

While In . discussion about rail- roads of New England something came to my mind that may be of interest to the working men here in GrOton.
 We have been asking for in- dustry to come into our locality, we'll what Is holding us back from trying to get the N. Y., N. H. and Hartford Railroad to build their new station here at Groton? If and how they are going to build sta- ton why not build on the east side of the river where they have plenty of space and be at the nearest point possible to the new airport we have heard so much talk about?
 As I understand the present sta- ton at New London is not owned by the New Haven road and the rent on the building is big item. If they build in New London they are forced to buy a large amount of high priced buildings and land If they build on the east side of the river the amount of land they would need would be small item as they now own a large part of what they would need.
 With a railroad station and an airport here in Groton 1t would mean a lot towards business in other industries.
 Also what are we here at Groton doing toward bringing new hospital here to our town2 Are we doing to drop this matter the same as we have always done in the past, make big noise to start and then stop just about the time we get started?
 Always remember he that seeks always advances.
 Many a project could have been saved if we had not got discouraged and quit.
