Notice was received by the clerk of the
circuit court here today that the Maryland
court of appeals has reversed the decision
of the circuit court for this county In the
case of Mrs Estele Parshley and husband
of Takoma Park against Frank l.. Hewitt
of Silver Spring. The case was an action
brought by the Parshleys to compel
specific performance of contract. The
facts in the case were that Hewitt bar
gained to purchase from the Parshleys a
lot at Takoma and made a payment on
same. Learning that there might be some
doubt as to the title, because the property
of Takoma, Hewitt refused to pay the re-
cult. Judge Henderson held that the tax
law was constitutional. but the court of ap-
peals took the opposite view.
The decision is regarded as of great i'm
portance. 1t not only renders of no value
the titles to all property sold at Takoma
for taxes, but affects the property sold for
taxes at Kensngton, Garrett Park and Glen
Echo, the charters of which towns are
similar to the ~TakOma charter
