FREIGHT CARS PARKED ON STREET.
Com fSsiOnerk Have No Power to
Give Mr.. McQuay Relief.

Mr.. B. C. McQuay recently complained to
cars are permitted to stand on Maryland
west, to the great annoyance of the resi-
dents of that vicinity. The Commission
crs referred the matter to their attorney,
Mr.. A. B. Duvall, for an opinion as to
whether such use of the tracks Of the rail-
road company is authorized by law. To-
day Mr. Duvaii advised them that the case
in question does not come within the police
regulations against parking cars, and that
the Commissioners can, therefore, afford
no relief in the premises.
1T appears from the report Of Inspector
Bradshaw, states Mr.. Duvali, "that the
tracks opposite the railroad freight yards
by freight cars, to an extent more or less
as indicated in the complaint, at intervals
while discharging local freight, and Incl
IDENTIFY the shifting of cars is in progress.
This occupation, however, seems from the
report of the inspector to be the legitimate
result of handling the companys freight
business only. | am of the opinion that
the case does not come within the police
regulation against parking cars, and that
the Commissioners can afford no relief in
the premises.
IF the complainant is specially annoyed
and injured he has his redress by action
against the railroad company for damages
or for Injunction, and IL the operations of
the company at the point indicated consti-
tute a public nuisance criminal indict-
! ment will lie therefor"
The substance OF their attorneys opin-
ion will probably be transmitted by the
Commissioners to the complainant.
