A LESSON Fon FREDERICK COUNTY.-ThC
County Commissioners of Baltimore county
having objected to pay for the arrest and
conviction of persons found stealing rides on
railroad trains, Bernard Garter, Esq, counsel
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
notified the Commissioners of that county
that his company will pay all the expenses
incident tn the arrest Of persons for illegally
riding on their cars.
If the people of Baltimore county can be
so easily relieved of this unjust tax. why not
the people of Frederick county, also. Let
our County Commissioners take similar &C
ton and insist that the B. s. 0. Railroad
Company pay the expenses incurred by a
law passed especially for it's benefit and tc
alate nuisance from which it had long suf
fercd.- VaUey Register. Practically sucl
action has been taken and the county is rio
ofth,s burden. Editor.
