Rockville Court Voids Chevy Chase Incorporation
A Maryland circuit court ruling declares sections of the Chevy Chase village incorporation act invalid for covering a broader subject than the title and for exempting part of the village from municipal taxes, violating Article 15 of the Bill of Rights. Mrs. Anne G. Mactier filed the suit to stop tax levies, with trustees named as defendants. The decision, written by Chief Judge Hammond Urner, upholds both objections and leaves the act largely void.
