They Claim Quite Snug Little Sum-
Prof E. G. Chenoweth, a Baltimore county
school teacher, writes as follows to the Balti-
more SUn:
I'm 1880 John and Arthur Chenoweth
(brothers) Welsh noblemen, came over from
Wales and settled in Maryland Arthur mar
rie6 Patience Calvert, who was a daugher of
Lord Baltimore. To her and her heirs forever,
Lord Baltimore decided tract of land on part
of which the present city of Baltimore is now
partially built. This property was kept intact
until the year 1903, when the Chenoweths
leased the tract to the city of Baltimore for q
period of SO years. The lease expired last
March. The city refused to either vacate or
buy, and was accordingly sued for $500, 900 600,
the value of the property. The story of the
fortune has been handed down from one gener-
alton to another, and now that Baltimore has
no further claim on the property, it certainly
must go to the rightful heirs. No, this is not
longer considered gigantic joke, and Balti-
more city had just as well commence now to
make preparations either to vacate our property
or hand over $500, 000 We want our own
and nothing more"

Further Improvements on the Maryland
and Pennsylvania R. R.-The work Of modi-
flying curves and reducing grades between
Remington and Merryman's lane of the Mary
land and Pennsylvania Railroad has recently
been begun. This will mean the saving of
several minutes in the schedule time of the

sharp curves on this section of the line add
greatly to the comfort of the passengers. This
work is q continuance of the improvements
which have been made since Mr.. ]. s. Norris

quire the removal of 30 600 cubic yards of earth
and rock. This will be for the purpose of fill
ing two large holes and the cutting through
three banks or bills. One of these holes is the
historic old dog pond" which was used for
the purpose of drowning stray dogs for years
before the founding of the 3. P y. A. The
changing of the course of the road will cause it
to pass through a different section of Wyman's
Park, but will not mar the recent improve
ments made within the park.
1t will require large force of men to COM
plete this work, and will take about four
months to make the proposed improvements
new station has been recently erected at
Woodbrook and this handsome structure has
tended to improve and beautify the section.
When the work now under course OF construc-
ton has been completed it was stated BY Mr..
Norris that the management will begin i'm
provements on another section OF the line.
