NO AGREEMENT TO GET RID
OF B. & O. GRADE CROSSING

The Levy Court again had before II
today the dangerous crossing at Con-
cord Station of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad tracks
Levy Court Commissioner Elliott
brought up the matter and said the
Levy Court would not and could not
be accountable for the da IMAGES. IL
is a genuine life trap, he said.
o. c. Purdy, Samuel II. Baynard
and w. Atwood Weldin spoke as to
the danger at the crossing. Several
bad accidents happened at that place,
they said
Levy Court Commissioner Perkins
said the Levy Court is not authorized
to condemn land for private purposes,
but the railroad company wants the
Levy Court to stand for the damages.
John W. Huxley. counsel for the
b. q o. railroad, said he was not an-
thorized to 90 further than had been
offered The company would build
the bridge but the Levy Court is ask
ed to stand fol. the damages incurred.
The company would spend $4,000
but the property owners would find
their. properties up in tho air and
they would necessarily ask for dam
ages.
President Dayett asked MIR Elliott
If the property owners want damages.
Mr. Elliott said he never could find
out what damages were required, but
the property owners have engaged
counsel
MIR. Huxley said he could not say
if it was or was not possible with
the company to build the bridge over
the present tracks without condemn
J ing land. In this way all that would
he necessary would be the land for

Philip L. Garrett said IL Is utterly
I imDossible TO condemn land for tho
railroad company The proper thing
to do is 10 have the railroad company
to nut on a condemnation commission
/ and find out how much damages wcul'
/ he necessary. Then the Levy Cour
could take up the matter. The lega
grade for a road to be raised is one
of FIVE degrees.
County Engineer James Wilson wal
called before the meeting and spok'
regarding the grade.
Water Commissioners Knox an'
Poole we're present and Mi kno'
asked what kind Of a crossing wal
desired To cut under the railroad
would mean terrible grade. H'
believed an overhead bridge for thl
pike would be the best
Mr.. Huxley said the abutting prop

The railroad is there under its charte
