Seventeenth and adjacent streets, have
noted that the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railrrad
Company is, or Is about 10 be, before your
honorable body With an application for
new terminal facilities for tho company.
We therefore request that when this
new grant 1.-THE route along the creek) Is
made to them. that they be required to
give up their Sixteenth and Seventeenth
street property, ss We think one route Is,
or should be, sufficient for any one com.
pany.
We make this request because Of the
injury to our property In many instances,
1t having settled from the jarring Of heavy
trains; Of the danger TO life and limb
from fast running trains, many Of which
run ct the rate Of twenty miles an hour;
in fact, this Is an'slmost every day occur
renee, and the many annoying Interrupt
tons to our schools and churches, to say
nothing Of the discomiorts arising from
the noise and smoke.
There were attached to this 1874 sigma
lures.
Quite q spirited discussion took place
before the resolution was finally adopted.
Col. Caldwell said that despite the report
that Capt. Clements had said that he could
not see that the Railroad Committee could
have done other than II did, after learning
that the B. & o. had not at the time Of the
meeting anything formal 10 offer, he
understood that ths Captain and the other
officials were very much disappointed
over the manner in which debates had
been shut of at the committee meeting.
To use the Oolonel's words, the "Rag.laW"
was applied, and the company, through
its officials, given what almost amounted
to q slap in the face. Mr.. Cruise
teok issue with the Colonel on
this, and' also charged that the
resolution was q reflection on the
committee which brought on half an hour
Of epeech-making that was quite interest.
