that any corporation which enjoys this exemption would not

like to see the barriers raised to losing the exemption,

so I would think the B&0 would not look kindly upon your

keeping this, but I don't think that has a great deal

to do with it.

DELEGATE LLOYD TAYLOR: Delegate Gallagher,

8

I have about two questions. I am not trying to ask the

9

question to embarrass you, but I am trying to point out a

10

few facts.

11

Number one, I have been a passenger of the B&0

12

Railroad for the past several years when I take a trip home

13

to Ohio. I realize that the B&0 has cut its passenger

14

fares from a high rate to a more economical rate, but do

15

you know the exact amount of money that the State of

16

Maryland loses from the fact that it has given this

17

exemption to the B&0 Railroad?

18

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gallagher.

19

DELEGATE GALLAGHER: No, Delegate Taylor,

20

I do not. It has been estimated that it is millions of

21

dollars.
