Gro 5sing At Grade Denied

A decision denying to the Wash
ington, minister and Gettysburg
Railroad Company the right of eminen t
domain in crossing Columbia avenue,
at the extreme weste limits of Hy-
attsville, and also over the tracks OF
the City and Suburban Railroad Com
pany at Randallstown, was handed
down by Chief Judge Hunter Boyd in
the Maryland Court of Appeals, at An
napolis Saturday. The question of the
right of the railroad company to cross
Columbia avenue and the tracks of the
City and Suburban Railroad at gra' e
has been in litigation for nearly three
years and the decision means that the
company, if the road is constructed,
will have to place the tracks overhead
or underground.
The company was organized by a
number of Washington and Mary
land capitalists, and considerable money
has already been expended in surveys,
grading, etc. The claim is made th?t
if the company is compelled to plac
tracks at all crossings undergrour
overhead the expense will be SOY
as practically to mean the abandoI. "a.
