Fairfax|sUphe|d
On Falls Church
School Control
Court Rules County
Keeps Power Despite
Location in City

Judge C. G. Quesenbery ruled
today in Fairfax Circuit County
Court that Fairfax County can re-
tain control of Falls Church High
School and Oak Street Elementary
School.
The city of Falls Church had
sought both schools on the
ground they are within the city
limits of Falls Church and should
be a part of that newly-created
school district. Fairfax author
tiles claimed the county had built
the schools for children living in
the county and the city, and that
creation of a separate school dis
trict in Falls Church did not en-
title the city to the county owned
schools.
Judge QueSenbery presides over
Waynesboro Corporation Court,
but was appointed to hear the
case. He indicated July 26 when
1t was argued in Fairfax Circuit
Court that he would rule in favor
of Fairfax County. In his opinion,
Judge Quesenbery said the county
could not be Invested of its title
and ownership of schools simply
because of their geographical To-
cation.
Contention Called Absurd.
Such a contention, said Judge
Quescenbery, seems to be too
absurd to be a serious question.
He added that elsewhere in Vir-
einia many county-owned schools
were within the confines of city.
He said it also was not unusual
to have county-oWne courthouses
located in cities. Also, he said,
cities have the right to own prop
erty in counties.
Judge Quesenbery said he had
to rely on the statutes to resolve
the Fairfax-Falls Church school
question because there were no
previous similar cases.
Transfer of Schools Upheld.
Judge Quesenbery also upheld
the county's decision to turn over
the Madison School and the Old
jefferson School to Falls Chul CHI
These two schools were built by
the town of Falls Church before
Fairfax County began operating
Falls Church schools in 1912.
The judge said he would enter
q formal order in the case as soon
rs it is prepared by attorneys.
The Falls Church School Board
already has decided to take back
the two schools that Fairfax Of
fered.
