518 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 18,
CITY HALL,
Annapolis, March 15, 1872.
At a meeting of the corporation of Annapolis, held this
day, the following Preamble and Resolution was adopted :
WHEREAS, it is the confident opinion of the Mayor, Coun-
sellor and Aldermen of the City of Annapolis, that the Balti-
more and Drum Point Railroad, if ever constructed, will be
of no benefit to this City,
And whereas, this City did largely aid in the construction
of the Annapolis and Elk Ridge Rail Road, which runs quite
through Anne Arundel county, though that county contri-
buted nothing to aid in its construction.
And whereas, it is unjust and oppressive under these cir-
cumstances to tax the citizens of Annapolis, (who pay one-
, filth part of the taxes of Anne Arundel county in addition
to their city taxes,) for the construction of this Drum Point
Rail Road, therefore,
Be it resolved, by the Mayor, Counsellor and Aldermen of
the City of Annapolis, that the property within this City
ought to be exempted from the operation of any law author-
izing a subscription by Anne Arundel County in aid of the
Construction of the Baltimore and Drum Point Bail Road,
and that the Mayor be requested to furnish our representa-
tives in the General Assembly, with copies of these proceed-
ings, with a request that they present them to their respec-
tive Houses and obtain the relief hereby sought.
City of Annapolis, Set:
I certify that the foregoing is a true copy of a Preamble
and Resolution adopted by the Mayor, Counsellor and Alder-
men of the City of Annapolis, on the 15th day of March,
1872.
- .—— , In testimony whereof, I have hereto set my
\ Seal [ hand and affixed the Corporate Seal of said
1 v^~ ' City, this 16th day of March, 1872.
