Irving Settleman, Baltimore, for appellants.
Edward S. Digges, Jr., Baltimore (Charles T. Albert and Joseph G. Finnerty, Jr., Baltimore, on the brief), for appellee.
Argued before MURPHY, C. J., and BARNES, McWILLIAMS, SINGLEY, SMITH and DIGGES, JJ.
This dispute involves interpretation of a clause in a deed made in 1967 when appellee, The Savings Bank of Baltimore (the Bank), acquired land for the construction of a branch bank at the corner of Liberty and Glenmichael Roads in Baltimore. The land was purchased from appellants, Albert Kermisch and Bessie T. Kermisch, 'individually and co-partners trading as Kermisch's' (Kermisch).
