school furniture therein, fire engine houses, including the fire engines and
apparatus used in connection therewith, and police stations, situate within
the territory which is by this Act annexed from Anne Arundel County to

respectively, shall be ascertained, in accordance with the principle here-
inbelow stated, by arbitrators, one to be appointed by the Mayor of Balti-
more City, one to be appointed by the County Commissioners of Baltimore
County, for the purpose of passing upon the amount to be paid to the
Treasurer of Baltimore County, as herein directed, and one to be ap-
pointed by the Mayor of Baltimore City, and one to be appointed by the
County Commissioners of Anne Arundel County, for the purpose of pass-
ing upon the amount to be paid to the Treasurer of Anne Arundel County,
in pursuance of this Section; in each case, the two arbitrators shall appoint
a third, and if they cannot agree upon such third arbitrator the latter
shall be appointed by the Governor of Maryland; the decision of two of
said arbitrators shall be final and conclusive on both parties. In ascer-
taining the said fair valuation of said properties, or the amount to be
paid to the Treasurer of each of said counties, respectively, the arbitra-
tors shall take into consideration the location of each of said schoolhouses,
fire engine houses and police stations, and the value or usefulness thereof
to each of said counties, respectively, outside of the portion annexed by
this Act to Baltimore City. If, in the judgment of said arbitrators, any
fire engine house and lot, with its apparatus, any police station and lot,
and any schoolhouse and lot and furniture, is so situate as to be of no
use to the population of the counties outside of the territory annexed by
this Act to Baltimore City, they shall value such engine house and lot and
apparatus, such station-house and lot, or such schoolhouse, lot and furni-
ture, respectively, at a nominal valuation, and any such fire engine house,
lot and apparatus, station-house, and lot, or schoolhouse, lot and furniture,
