hibits the running Of the cars on that day:
Geo. s. Gideon, Esq, President, de-, &c.
SIR: have this moment received yours Of
Yesterday, informing me of the desire Of the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany to run their cars from the Baltimore De-
pot, In this city, to Georgetown on the Sabbath,
and enquiring II there 10 any municipal law or
do not find anything in the Corporation
ordinances that recognizes or applies to street
cars nominee; but the 18th section Of the act Of
June ~. 1856, entitled an "Act to prevent nui-
sances,'' prohibits sdrivers Of hackney coaches
aud other reAielss from occupying, on Sunday,
the appointed stand for such carriage or other
vehicles, with their coaches or other vehicles,
or standing or waiting elsewhere iE the streets
ana avenues for fare on that day and as I
deem street cars vehicles in the meaning OF
this section OF that ordinance, to run them on
the Sabbath, as proposed by your company,
would be an infringement Of the municipal
regulations Of this city, which would feel
bound to prevent. ..a
Besides, and presume the object Of running
your cars on the Sabbath would be an accom-
mediation Of the public, do not See that the
public would be much benefited by your run
ming to and from the Baltimore Depot on day
when the Baltimore trains are many less than
other days, and in connection with them at
hours on that day which would not suit the
general public convenience.
With all respect for yourself and the gentle
men connected with your, am, &c, &C.,
