TEST LAIN
Action to Dissolve Injunction
Halting Lee Highway Work
Seen as State Law Test
ARLINGTON. Va., March 21.
Review of the State Highway
Commission’s power to build a
road across private property,
without first instituting condem
nation proceedings, by the Vir
ginia Court of Appeals loomed as
a possible aftermath to the in
junction granted Mrs. Virginia
Van Every Thursday. The ip
junction was issued to stop the
State's convict force from work
ing on her property until such a
suit was entered.
Plans Dissolution
The possibility developed when
Charles W. Pickett, attorney for
the State Highway Commission,
announced that he would file a
motion for dissolution of the in
junction today. The motion will
bring to the court’s attention an
option, given in 1925 to the Lee
Boulevard Association by the late
Mr. E. B. Van Every, and which
contained a clause declaring the
option void after 90 days.
If the court fails to dissolve
the injunction upon the strength
of the option, it is understood
that Mr. Pickett will ask that
it be dissolved on the strength
of a recent law enacted by the
State legislature giving to the
highway commission the right to
build its roads across private
property and. within a 60-day
period, assess the land and dam
age and deposit this amount
with the circuit court.
Deemed Unconstitutional
When interviewed upon this
point. Emory N. Hosmer, attorney
for Mrs. Van Every, said that
he considered this piece of legis
lation unconstitutional and a vio
lation of the clause providing
that no man shall be deprived
of his property without due pro
cess of law.
The hearing on the dissolu
tion motion is scheduled for
hearing today by Judge Walter
T. McCarthy, in the Fairfax Cir
cuit Court.

ALL BLUE LAWS
IN MARYLAND
ATTACKED
Seventh Measure Is Offered
to Abolish Sunday Closing;
Defeat of Program Forecast
ANNAPOLIS, March 21.—Con
tending that all existing Mary
land blue laws are obsolete, Dele
gate McKenrich, of Baltimore,
proposed a bill in the house yes
terday which would repeal stat
utes dealing with Sunday work,
sales and amusements.
McKenrich’s bill is the seventh
piece of Sunday legislation of
fered at this session. Although
admitting that the measure prob
ably has the sympathy of a
majority of the delegates, pro
ponents of the bill predict its
failure due to the fact that the
solid city delegation united yes
terday to bring about the defeat
of Heaps cattle-testing bill,
strictly a county measure, which
would have required the State to
bear half of the expense of test
ing cattle for tuberculosis after
the herds had been certified free
from the disease.
