Burgee Case Concludes In Court With Opinion Pending
In a mandamus case Prof. Amon Burgee versus the Board of County School Commissioners, arguments ended as the court took the matter under advisement for an opinion. Attorney John S. Newman argued that the 1916 act repealed prior school law, placing public schools on a new basis and that Burgee was not appointed after June 1. He claimed Burgee had no right to sue since the principal’s dismissal followed lawful school action. Separate items include a temperance parade plan in Walkersville and a Lutheran missionary society meeting, plus a baseball result where IoA.C. Rasehall beat Hosiery 4 to 3 at Agricultural Park.
