Ten-year agitation by citizens of Rockledge to secede from Montgomery oounty and beconie a part of Phila- deilphia, caffxxe lo naught Moii/day When Judge Aliller in the county court at Norristown threw out the petition for approval of  the  project.
Cltizonswh o favored the annexa¬ tion asked tho court's approval under a recent State law, and planned to ask City Council for its approvel if the  court action  were  forthcoming.
Judge Aliller denied the retiuest on a technicality, asserting the petition for annexation had been improperly prepared. There was active opposition by ATontgomei-y county officials who objected to f^rowlng a portion of the country over Into Philadelphia. The petition upon which the court pasae'J recently was filed June 2, 1924.

The miaiii purpose of the annex¬ ation at that time was to obtain bet¬ ter high schooi fat.'illtles. H.arry D. Russell. Jr., one of the annexation supporters, declared Kocltledge to be bankrupt, with assets of $705 and liabUitles  which  he   listed  at   $23,000.
