Frederick City Court Overrules Demurrer in Street Condemnation Case
Associate Judge Prescott overruled a demurrer in a petition by Frederick Board of Education seeking a declaratory judgment to stop city condemnation of Frederick High School ground for Carroll Park extension. The court held it has jurisdiction to declare rights and that the city may condemn if authorized by statute. The decision noted the case questions judicial restraint vs. municipal authority and stated the demurrer must fail if facts show potential private use of public land. Also notes the possible immediate condemnation action if allowed. Dr. Salvatore J. DeMarco, 74, Baltimore surgeon, died after brief illness.
