Text: The appellants argue that the Chancellor was in error in permitting the property owners to testify in regard to litter mostly consisting of food bags bearing Gino's name which they found on their respective properties. In our opinion this testimony had some relevancy to a consideration of the extent of the violation, thereby tending to contradict the appellants' position that the alleged violations were trifling or de minimis. The evidence also pointed, to some degree, to one of the problems which the City Council was attempting to meet and regulate by the passage of Ordinance 938. In any event, however, we can find no objections to the evidence and no motion to strike it out, so that the issue is not properly preserved for our consideration. Maryland Rules 522 and 885. Tully v. Dasher, No. 257, September Term, 1967, filed July 2, 1968; Rose v. State, 240 Md. 65, 212 A.2d 742 (1965). Decree affirmed, the costs to be paid by the appellants.
