The fact that Arundel Station was q

pointed out that this feature would
make the closing Of the road harmful
to the railroad itself.
Furthermore, shipping business and
general traffic on the road Is expected
to increase as a result of the newly
built approach to Lemons Bridge, over
the Patuxent River, which will make
the road direct connecting link be-
tween the territory around Bowie and
