the present State law concerning

Suit RetriuI
Under Study

Montgomery County Circuit
Court Judge Thomas M. Ander-
son yesterday took under ad-
Ivisement a motion by the Coun-
ty School Board for retrial Of
Ia land condemnation suit which
could result in the highest acre
age price ever paid for a county
school site.
Subject of the contention is
Ia tract of land slightly under
seven acres in the Harmony
Hills section of Wheaton. It is
owned by Ray Turner and his
sister, Miss Mamie Turner. who
were represented by Attorney r.
Edwin Brown.
Last month a jury set the
price of the tract, which the
Board of Education wants for
the proposed Aspen Hill School,
at $4,000 or nearly $4,000 an
acre. Early last year the board
offered $4,000 an acre for the
site.
Irrelevant Testimony Seen
County Attorney Charles M.
Irelan asked for the new trial
on grounds that defense attor-
Ineys introduced irrelevant testi-
mony when they questioned
School Superintendent Forbes
H. Norris as to his knowledge
that another tract in the area
recently had sold Tor $1,000 an
acre When the Board was max
ing Its $4,000 an acre offer. Mr..
IIrelan also maintained that the
introduction of proposed subdi-
vision plats gave the jury a
false idea of the value of the
property.
He termed the jury award
outrageous and unfounded on
evidence"
Attorneys for owners Of the
site denied that there had been
any improper questioning or ir-
relevant evidence introduced and
pointed out that the School
Board is not obligated to buy the
land if it doesn't want to.
School Need Stressed
Schools Board members, how
ever. have maintained that 1t Is
the only suitable tract available
in the area and that double ses-
sions in many n Gig h borin G
schools will be necessary unless
the land can be acquired and
construction completed by Sep
TENDER.
Judge Anderson said the court
was worried" that the testimony
of real estate broker H. Glenn
Garvin. who told the jury he had
exclusives on several other suit
able tracts in the area. might
have improperly Influenced their
decision. ,-.. ,-....
Judge Anderson said he would
render a decision on the School
Boards motion for new trial
