The Montgomery County Anti-Saioon

tives in Congress to use their utmost en-
deavors to secure the passage of the Lit

prohibition prevails to control the ship

is one from Col George A. Pearre, who
represents this. the sixth Maryland. dis

Mason and Dixon's Line

For generations this line sumbered In
obscurity, being perpetuated for time in
local memory and tradition by reference
to oak and hickory trees, balzed or notch
ed by the surveyors, or by fences which
the settlers had built, as they supposed,
upon the exact line. But year by year
these marks decayed and passed from
sight until their location became uncer-
tain and the subject of a violent dispute
between William Penn and Lord Baiti-
more, which continued between their heirs
and assigneeS until 1863 when Frederick.
Lord Baltimore and the Pennsylvania
authorities employed Charles Mason and
jeremiah Dixon. two Skillful mathematl-
clans. and surveyors. to draw new Hne
according to the original agreement. They
built an observatory for their first work
and marked the line with suitable stone
monuments one mile apart. Upon these
stones We're carved the arms Of the Penns
and the arms of the Calverts, whose con-
troversv had embttered the neighborins
communities and had caused the expen-
diture Of many thousands of dollars
That is the origin of the famous Mason
and DiXon's line. which separated the free
soil from the slave states and has been
so frequently alluded to in the political
debates of this country.

EXTENSION OF 10TH STREET.
w. j. Kehoe Enters Objection to
Proposed LEGISLATION

w. j. kehoe of Stoneleigh Court has
written to the Commissioners asking to
be informed upon what theory they have
asked for another act of Congress for
the condemnation of land necessary for
the extension of 10th street in view of
the fact that there is an act providing
for the extension, under which two trials
have been had, at a great expense to
the property oWners affected.
At one of the trials the Jury awarded a
verdict making the benefits much greater
than the damages and confining the
assessments TO small territor.-. The
second verdict of the jury made the
damages for the condemnati ton S24, 900
and the benefits $1,000. In view OF the
fact that the act called for an assessment
of benefits equal to the damages and
costs. the Commissioners have had the
verdcts set aside and have asked for
the new legislation referred to b. Mr.
kehoe.
Mr.. kehoe is opposed TO this new Legs
lation asked for by the Commissioners,
according To his letter. He declared that
the two jury decisions thus far rendered

Contiscated his property and he informed
the Commissioners lie would rather ac-
c@pt this condition than fight it any fur

conduct on the part of public officials
strikes me as a great imposition and
have smothered all my natural indignation

er language.
Capt. Jay J. Morrow Engineer Com
missioner. 10 whom this matter was re-
ierred has moved that Mr. kehos
lie Informed that the Commissioners
deemed an extension of 10th street to be
Il public necessity. He said: The Com
missioners believe further that the mair
difficulty that Mr.. Kehoe has found ir
r"eonciling the verdict of the jury Will
his ideas as TO the amount he shoulC
receive for his property taken and the
assessments that should be levied against
that portion of his property not taken
has not been due to the ineuuity of the
principle OF requiring total assessment:
in this case but rather to the fact tina
the jury in placing assessments fol-

territory.

ments shall be levied which viii operate
