WASHINGTON, D. €, THURSDAY., AUGUST 13 SUITS FOR UNPAID TAXES THROWN 0UT Arlington Court Also Sustains Woman Voters” Demurrer to Damage Suit. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, August 13.—Demurrers to two important suits instituted in the loal Circuit Court were today sustained by Judge Walter T. McCarthy in clo; the minutes of the present session The most important of these i demurrer to the suit fi'ed by the A through Commonweelth Attorney Wil- liam C. Gloth, for the collection of ap- proximately half a million dollars in delinquent real estate taxes The second decision was to sustain the cemurrer filed by Burnett Miller, attorney for seven members of the Orgenized Women Voters of Arlingt County In the $60,000 damage suit | stituted agamnst them by the Arlington | Investment Corporation. Cannot Collect Taxes. By action in the former case. Judge McCarthy has made it practically im- possible, it is claimed, to collect delin- quent real estate taxes through suit. | This is the second demurrer of this type that has been sustained in the local Circuit Court within the past three years. Judge Howard W. Smith, when he was on the bench, sustained a demurrer to uits against the same defendants that vas filed by Gloth in the name of the counsel for the defense being sustained in their argument_that local governments were prohibited by the constitution from col- the {lecting taxes By suit When efforts at collection failed in this respect Gloth took the matter up with C. H. Morrisett, State tax commis- sioner, who authorized him to bring the suits in the name of the State, under section 403 of the tax code. There w more than 1000 suits filed, involvi $500,000 in delinquent taxes. Law Is Changed. A demurrer to the latter suits was filed by Attorneys Jesse, Phillips and Klinge, in which they claimed that the suits were unconstitutional because of an act of the last General Assembly which assigned the delinquent taxes be- longing to the State to the various juris- dictions in which the properties were located. Hence it was claimed in the demurrer the State had no ownership in the taxes. and if they were allowed to participate in their collection the county might then sue and collect them over again. Gloth stated today that the form of the bill of complaint under which the suits were brought had been approved by Morrisett and that the latter had stated that he would carry the cases to the Supreme Court of Appeals of the State. In the case of the Organized Woman Voters, suit was brought against them several months ago y the Arlington Investment Corporation for damages al- leged to have been caused the latter as the result of the recent unsticcessful impeachment proceedings against Su- pervisor B. M. Hedrick Claimed Business Damaged. The sult alleged that since Hedrick at the time of the impeachment pro- ceedings was managing_director of the Arlington Investment Corporation and that the name of the concern was brought into the proceedings that their | business was damaged as a result Burnett Miiler of G In his demurrer Culpeper, attorney for Mrs. Ruby Simpson’ and other members of tk women's organization, claimed that there was no libel in so far as the Arlington Investment Corporation was concerned and that as a cesult th T view of the matter was also taken by he court. Edgar W. Pumphrey, attorney for the investment corporation, was unable to say whether an appeal would be taken.

Judge Ritchie, who has served as Juvenile judge since 1922, when the State law creating such an office be- came effective, stated that he is not actuated by any personal feeling in re- | gard to the supervisors’ appointee, Mrs. Eleanor Aud of Herndon. but that he is not in sympathy with the board's | action in severing the local work from | control of the State Board of Public Welfare and in appointing any person whom the State board does not con- sider qualiged by training and ex- | perience to® handle the work started | by Mrs. Louise Manghum.
