pasaipn on we come to Hunts Methodist Eni

Passing on we come to Hunts Methodist Epis-
copal Church. but so much has been published
about this interesting old structure that we pass
it by without further comment.
Farther on we come to Brooklandville, where
a hotel was kept during war time and which is
one of the old landmarks of the community. 1t
seems to be about the same as the writer re-
members it so years ago. Browns old mill, a
little farther on, has disappeared along with
other buildings there.
One thing noticeable ON the journey was the
disappearance of the saloon or places where
liquor was sold. In my day between Towson
and Jockeys old tavern. just short distance
beyond Browns, there were five places where
liquor was dispensed. Now there are none.
Matters in the Circuit Court-Upon the
application of Thomas W. Tunney an in

Burke & Jenifer, that the Roland Park Com

On Monday Judge Burke filed an opinion in
the case of Jonas Hermann against George
Schlaffer and others, in which he dismissed
the bill with costs. The bill was to obtain
decree for the specific performance of a con-
tract for the sale of ground and improvements
in Baltimore. 1t was alleged that the con-
tract provided that if the Liquor License Com
mission refused license for the property the
contract would be void. 1t was contended by
Mr.. Hermann that the license was not granted
because of certain action of the defendants.
