Demurrer Against Writ
On Athletic Funds Filed

Lawrence w. Douglas, Arlington
County commemorative attorney
in demurrer filed yesterday con-
tended the petition of Frank L. Ball,
jr., for writ of mandamus on ath-
letic association funds did not con-
tain grounds for legal action.
Mr.. Ball, an association member,
had argued that because the funds
OF the athletic association of county
schools are collected and disbursed
by agents and employees of the
School Board, they are public funds
which should be deposited with the
county treasurer.
Mr.. Douglas demurrer, filed In
Circuit Court, asked for a dismissal
of the petition because, he said, the
funds referred to in the petition
were collected by fees, admissions
and donations in connection with
school activities and athletic con-
tests and do not constitute funds for
school purposes within the operation
OF section TOO of the code. He fur
ther said the allegation that funds
are collected by agents and employees
OF the School Board does not change
the character of such funds.
Mr.. Balls petition had been sup
ported earlier this week by an inter-
vening petition filed by John Locke
Green, county treasurer.
