Messrs. John j. Wilson and w. Irvine Cross
for the company.
The main contention of the attorneys for
Mr. Waters was that the Baltimore and Ohio
has no authority to build such a railyoad be-
cause it is not a lateral branch in connection
with its line from the city of Baltimore to The
Ohio river.
Mr.. Chestnut referred to the fact tbs
building all of its other branches. NOTABLE

city of Washington and the Metropol
Branch from Washington to Frederick ]

Railroad had always procured an act Of

The Court Of Appeals decided, IL a case IN
46th Maryland, Mr.. Chestnut said, that the
Metropolitan Branch connecting Washington
with the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was not a lateral road The question
came mp in this case upon the subject of taxa
ton, whether the Metropolitan Branch was
exempt or not, and the court held that it was
not. -
