The Board of Public Works met
in Cumberland last Friday and sur
veyed the grounds of the proposed
crossing and connection. The board
of commissioners of the District of
who are interested for the
coal trade of Georgetown, and Sena-
tor A. P. German, president of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, who is
interested for the traffic of the work
of which he is the head, and a num-
erous body of civil engineers, railroad
officers, representatives of coal COM
panies, and various other persons
having direct or indirect interest in
the issue, were likewise on hand.
A committee of miners with petit
tion containing 1877 names was also
present and had an audience with the
board. This was followed by an
official memorial presented by COM
mittee of boatmen.
No conclusion was reached by the
board, the matter seeming to go over
to suit their convenience. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that some result will
be announced yet this week.
So far as the crossing is concerned
they have really nothing to do. The
courts have settled that matter in
favor OF the new road. 1t is their
province, if we understand the mat
ter properly, to "aPprcve" such point
OF connection as the new road selects
and designates, or disapprove it. Ger
tainly the law under which the board
is acting confers no power on anybody
else than the new road management
to select a point of connection.
