1874.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

Your memorialists would further state that whatever
goes to improve and enhance the interests of Baltimore, must
he considered viewing the subjeot in a comprehensible and
and practical light—as being of least equal advantage to both
county and State; and that no petty dwarfing policy which
permits the advantages of the city to be secured by the cdnniy
without cost, should be allowed to stand in the way of its
natural progress.

Probably no city in the Union is more contracted in space
than Baltimore now is. Other cities have outstripped us
chiefly because we have been hemmed in by a narrow policy,
which we pray the General Assembly now to obliterate, and
to carry out in its true intent, the legend of the Great Seal of
our State, "Crescite et Multiplicamini." And your memoria-
ists will ever pray...
