railroad for $4,000. Mr.. Kelly said that he
had been offered that sum for the prop
erty sometime ago. AT least he was asked
II he would sell for that much. He gave
his inquisitor no satisfaction.
This leads to the belief that he will not
sell the property for that figure.

The Logan House is one OF the land

the line OF the Baltimore and ohio Rail-
road property. The railroad owns all other

straighten its line through the city at that
point. In order to do this. however, il
would be necessary to go Through the
present station building which would
necessitate the erection Of practically a
new station.
Mr.. Kelly has occupied the Logan House

not think he would sell the property TO be
