Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. April 5.-The cour
Of appeals Of Maryland today handed
down an opinion affirming the decision
Of the circuit court of Montgomery count,
which declared the act Incorporating tn,
town of Chevy Chase, Md, invalid Th,
decision was rendered in the case of vii
liam T. s. Curtis against Anna G. Mac
tier. In it's decision the court decided
the costs in the case should be paid by
the appellant
The question Of whether Chevy Chase
should become an incorporated town
was agitated early in January Of last
year. and during the next month it
was thoroughly discussed. In April
meeting OF those opposed to the in
corporation was held. Several days
cussed it. Late in April the advocates
for a charter won by two votes, and q
village president and board OF trustees
were selected.
In July certain, Of the residents. no,
satfsfied as to their status. filed suit
against the officials. Mrs. Anna G. Mac
tier became the plaintiff and William T.
8. Curtis, George w. F. Swartzell ano
others the defendants. The purpose OF
the suit it was explained, was to deter.
not an incorporated village.
Two Legislative Acts.
The petition filed set forth that "the
last Maryland legislature passed two acts
relating to the place.
"One submitted the question whether the
village should become incorporated to q
vote Of the residents at an election which
was required to be held April 25. The
other. which was to 60 into effect that
date. unless prior thereto the village
should become Incorporated. left the vii
lage under the county government, and
provided for q special levy Of taxes to be
made by the county officials the proceeds
Of the levy to be expended by an asso-
citation of tho residents of the village for
village purposes
According to the claims of Mrs. Mac
tiers attorneys. it was obvious that an
error was made by the legislature. as the
election provided for, which should de-
termine whether the village should be-
come incorporated. was required to be
held on the same day the special levy
tax went into effect.
The charter was held to be void by the
Montgomery county circuit court at Rock
Vile last December, and the case was
then carried to the court of appeals.
