gardens all around it, fill the building

AGAINST SELLING THE w. NJ. X. r.
The Board of Trade of Baltimore
has adopted resolutions reported by a
special committee that considered the
city's sale of its interest in the Western
MARYLAND Railroad. The resolutions
oppose parting with the road at this
time and advise that at no time should
a sale or lease be made without a full
investigation of the financial response
bility of the company that would gain
control, how the original object Of the
road would be subserved and whether
the company would be the most desira-
BILE and pay the most for the property.
The committee say that in view of the
fact that the primary object of the
road was to regain trade that had
been diverted to rival city, and that
while there is now a certainty of
much more pronounced increase than
shown by the figures of earnings they
quote from 1870 to 1890, the sale or
lease would be nothing short of suicidal
to the interests of the city. To turn
over the road to small road in West
Va, they think, would jeopardize the
purposes forswhich the Western Mary
land was created, and they think the
West Virginia Central and Pennsyl-
vania originated the agitation for
sale, which they wished to consum-
mate before the true value of the road
Is appreciated.
