tie severn river, and where one Of the
power stations Of the line viii be
bniIf, the line is almost parallel 10
the severn river, and in no place -

tracks. Because Of this short distance

waterfront or near the waterfront will
want TO purchase within these points.

sites for residences where the air -

along the banks, are not To be seen,
and the climate is healtbful. There
are several small tracks on an aver
age Of thirty acres each along both
banks, and most Of them are occu-
pied. Some Baitimoreans have es-
tabIishcd summer residences along
the river. Among them are Messrs.
John Morgan and Clinton Morgan.
