Court of Appeals Decides Against
County Commissioners.-TheC Court of APP
peals has rendered an opinion in the case of
the Consolidated Gas Company of Baltimore
VS.. the County Commissioners of Baltimore
county, reversing the order for preliminary
injunction granted by the lower court and re-
manding the case, the Commissioners to pay
the costs.
The bill of complaint charged that the Gas
Company was engaged in digging up and dis
turbing the beds of the Trappe and Sellers
Point roads in Baltimore county by laying gas
mains and pipes therein without first having
obtained a written permit from the County
Commissioners, as required by their rules and
regulations that the pipe line was being laid
in such way as to render the roads unit for
travel and to put the county to great expense
and trouble.
The Court of Appeals holds that even con-
ceding to the County Commissioners the power
to make reasonable regulations before the
pipes are laid by the Gas Company, they had
no power under existing laws, rules or regula-
lations, as far as shown by the record, to re-
quire written permit to be first obtained by
it. In denying the contention of the Com
mssioners that the Gas Company was guilty
of such acts as justified the interposition OF
court of equity, the opinion says:
IF the defendant was doing the work in the
manner alleged in the bill, with all the serious
consequences therein stated the County Com
missioners could never properly give written
permit for it to proceed, and hence we cannot
see how it can be said that the application for
a preliminary injunction was 10 afford relief
against such acts as are alleged in the eighth
paragraph of the bill, which in effect charged
the defendant with committing nuisance. 1t
would establish dangerous precedent to grant
an Injunction to prevent a nuisance, on
prayer which is as specific as this is in asking
for it on an entirely different ground and for a
different purpose"
