236. It shall be unlawful for any person or corporation to lay any
track for a steam railway within that portion of Howard county which is
described as follows, that is to say: The circumference of a circle whose
center is at the place where the road known as the "Lawyers Hill" road
connects with the road known as the "Montgomery" road, and having
a radius of two miles; excepting, however, that portions of the territory
above described which lies south and east of the right of way of the!
Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. And it shall
also be unlawful for any person or corporation to lay any tracks for a
steam railway within that portion of Baltimore county which is described
as follows, that is to say: Beginning at the intersection of the west bound-
ary line of the city of Baltimore with the south boundary line of the said
city, and running thence in a southwesterly direction to a point three miles
south of a point two miles west of the said intersection; thence in a north-
westerly direction to a place on the Baltimore and Frederick turnpike
known as Gray's; thence by a straight line to a point where the Western
Maryland Railroad tracks crosses the Baltimore and Reisterstown turn-
pike at or near Owings Mills in Baltimore county; thence easterly by a
straight line to the Northern Central Railroad at a point northerly one-half
mile from Timonium station as now located; thence southeasterly by a
straight line to a point where the Pott Springs road connects with the
Sweet Air or Dulany's pike, about one and a half miles north of Towson,
and thence by a straight line to a point on the line of the northern boundary
of the city of Baltimore, if extended, and two miles east of the present
eastern boundary of said city to a point on the eastern boundary of said
city two miles south of the present northern boundary, and then north on
said eastern boundary two miles to the place of beginning; provided, that
nothing herein contained shall effect any grant of a specific right of way
heretofore made by the General Assembly of Maryland to any railroad
company within the said territory, or the right on the part of any railroad
company to construct sidings, switches or additional tracks within three
hundred yards of the present right of way of any such railroad company, or
to re-locate its right of way and lay tracks within the said distance of three
hundred yards; nor shall anything in this Act prevent the Northern Cen-
tral Railway Company from making such changes in the present line of its
railroad as will enable it to re-locate its railway tracks where the same
pass across or by Lake Roland.
