| ton of the Twelfth district of Baltimore county
being annexed to Baltimore city. Annexation
could be accomplished through an act of the
Legislature, the Court of Appeals having de-

| is not necessary The proposition to incorpo-
rate HighIandtown and Canton into one town
seems to be meeting with considerable favor, as
| this plan would not cut those sections loose
| from the remainder of the county.
->Old EPSON Chapel, one of the promi-

the steps is rapidly disappearing. In year
or two nothing will be left of the old buildinf
except the sturdy walls that nothing short o.
| dynamite or an earthquake could move. 1t i
pity this old building cannot be preserved
