Another Scheme BY Citizens oI
HyattsVille to Stop Building
Railroad,

Delegate It. Van Horn introduced a
bill Friday afternoon In the House,
making it unlawful for any railroad
company to establish grade cross
ing in Prince Georges County.
The bill Is designed primarily to
prevent the Washington, Westminster
and Gettysburg Railroad Company
from constructing grade crossings
over Columbia avenue, in HyattHlle.
and over the City and Suburban Rail
road tracks at Randallstown, just
south Of that place.
Corporation Counsel Vincent a.
Sheehy, OF Hyattsville, stated that
while the Court OF Appeals decided
that the Washington, Westminster
and Gettysburg Railroad had a right
to condemn land crossings, the court
distinctly stated that the manner OF
constructing these crossings was a.
question to be determined by the
Public Service Commission OF the
State.
We hope that the Senate and House
will vote unanimously against the
bill. If the people of Prince Georges
county are against the building OF
the railroad Carroll county people are
not, and We hope to see it started
shortly.
