Murch School voted to amend their constiution so as to admit to membership residents in the terri- tory west of Connecticut avenue, bounded on the north by Ellicott street, on the west by Thirty-eighth street and on the south by Albermarle street. ‘The association had hesitated to take this action because of a refusal by the Chevy Chase Citizens’ Association to relinquish the property, which they claim is within the boundary set by their constitution.
