THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD
Colonel Oden Bowie, President OF the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad, has answered
the letter OF the committee transmitting TO him
the proceedings OF meeting OF citizens OF the
town OF Upper Marlboro, with reference to
running the road through that village. He
says: "By the use Of the word practicable"
In the charter it was meant, not as you con-
IL. "A ho n-fr rod
through The village of Upper Marlboro, with.
out regard TO the question Of costs or inconve-
nience.' but the very contrary, viz that the
location should be made as much within one
mile as was 'practicable'-.costs' the topo.
graphy OF the country, and the general inter.
ests OF Inc company, being considered. Any
other interpretation of this word practicable
see ms 10 me 10 be entirely incorrect and man
ifestly perverted. X x We would gladly
locate through Marlboro, because Of its being
the county IOWA. if we find we can do so
increase OF distance. We can, however, no
more undertake 10 run the road through eyery
country village than through every mans
farm, and when, as in this case, the road will
pass within gunshot OF the suburbs of Marl-
borO', we should be unfit custodians OF the In.
rerests OF those having invested so largely their
capital if we could be swerved from our cor
rect course by desire to crafty neighbor-
hoods or individuals. And in thi- connection
l would call your attention to the fact that but
half dozen or less Of the few participating
In the meeting were stockholders in the com.
pany."
