Which was adopted, and
The bill read a second time as amended.
Mr. Gwynn, Chairman on the part of the House, to view
the different sites for Tobacco Warehouses, submitted the
following
REPORT.
To the Honorable,
The Senate and the House of Delegates of Maryland:
The Joint Special Committee appointed under an order of
this Body in regard to locating and building tobacco ware-
houses on deep water at Canton and Locust Point, beg leave
to report, that they have examined carefully the sites offered
by the Canton Company and others. The first lot is one ad-
joining the Ganliner Elevator, 209x780 feet, binding on
Clinton street, and running back to the Port Wardens line;
the price asked is one hundred thousand (100,000) dollars.
The next lot offered is near the above, and is 319 x 180 feet,
binding on the same street and running back as aforesaid,
and for which one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) dol-
lars is asked; two-thirds of these lots are covered with water,
which to pile, grade and fill would involve heavy expense,
besides occasioning delay in the erection of the necessary
buildings.
Your Committee visited and inspected other lots, but not
being deemed suitable, no further allusion to them are neces-
sary, further than to say, that the lot now owned by the
State, upon which the burned buildings stood, are by far the
most suitable and best adapted for the re-erection of said
warehouses.
Your Committee therefore recommend the erection of one
or more warehouses.
They beg leave to report a bill appropriating the sum of
fifty-nine thousand ($59,000) dollars, being the amount re-
ceived from the Insurance Companies for policies held on the
warehouses burned.
