BALTIMORE, "February 10th, 1874.
To the General Assembly of Maryland.

The Memorial of the Baltimore, Peabody Heights and
Waverley Passenger Railway Company respectfully repre-
sents, that your Memorialist was duly incorporated by Act of
the General Assembly of Maryland, approved April 1, 1872;
and has, under and by virtue of certain ordinances of the
Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, approved March 28th
and June 7th, 1872, laid down and constructed a Passenger
Railway in the city of Baltimore, and is now operating the
same.

By the terms of said ordinances of the Mayor and City
Council of Baltimore, your Memorialist was required to con-
struct its Railway with the utmost regard to the public use of
the streets; to provide iron plates for gutter-crossing ; at its
own expense to conform to all future changes of grades of
streets, and at all times to keep the streets, along and through
which its tracks may be laid, in proper repair and free from
snow and other obstructions, not only between the tracks, but
for two feet bevond the outsides thereof.
