This is History.

Commenting upon object,lessons in

Frostburg observes in ii tone of con-
cluSiveneSS:
And how convincing of the towns OBJ

chute If paraded before the court in the
electric railway damage suits.
AS the town was not the defendant
in the damage SUITS and could not be,
it is difficult to see wherein its "obsti-

The Grant-street chute is route of
the company's own choosing and build
ing this after the town had been-not
obstinate" but eoSy in exchanging its
own selected safe Belt Line for the
cOmpany's own unsujc Grant-Street
chute.
This is history that cannot be OBJ
>cured, much less rubbed out, and the
only way to retrieve it is to compel the
