pointed under the mandate of the Sill
preme Court of the United States to
define the disputed boundary line be
tween Maryland and West Virginia

Court the line to be drawn by the com
missioners was to follow as closely as
was found practicable the so-called

both sides, was in effect the boundary
line. Copies of the decision have
been sent to the governors of the two
States, together with a map showing
the new boundary line.

prive Maryland of about 80 square
miles of territory, which will be added
