But board Chairman Beatrice P. Tignor sent a letter to Johnson last week withdrawing a request for the money.

Several council members said they did not understand why.

Council member Thomas R. Hendershot (D-New Carrollton) questioned whether the council had the authority not to hand over the money. State law requires the telephone tax to be given to the Board of Education.

Ralph Grutzmacher , the council's attorney, explained that the school board is only saying that it "sees no need for the money now."

Boswell disclosed this year that her residence during 2004 was Glen Dale.
