General Assembly of Maryland providing that at a certain
date named in said act the portion of Curtis Creek over which
said bridge will be constructed will be within the limits of the
City of Baltimore, then the County Commissioners of Anne
Arundel County shall have no jurisdiction or authority to pass
upon said petition for said bridge but the said street railway
company must obtain authority to construct and maintain said
bridge from the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore by an
ordinance duly passed, and the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore is hereby authorized, although the date on which
said portion of Curtis Creek shall become a portion of the ter-
ritory included within the limits of the City of Baltimore
might not then be reached, to grant to such railway company,
on such terms as it may see fit to impose, the right and power
to construct, improve and to maintain for the use of such rail-
way company over Curtis Creek at any point within the limits
of the City of Baltimore as defined by said act extending its
limits. Provided, however, that nothing in this Act shall re-
lieve the said railway company from the obligation imposed
upon it by Section 282 of Article 23 of Bagby's Annotated
Code to obtain the approval of the plans of said bridge by the
Board of Public Works.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That a street railway

for its own use across Curtis Creek shall not be required to
obtain permission for such construction from the General As-
sembly of Maryland as required by Section 131 of Article 23
of Bagby's Annotated Code, but said railway company shall
not construct said bridge until it has obtained the authority re-
quired by this Act and by Section 282 of Article 23 of Bagby's
Annotated Code.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That the County Com-
missioners of Anne Arundel County axe hereby authorized to
rebuild the said bridge over Curtis Creek on its present loca-
tion, or to rebuild said bridge across Curtis Creek at any other
point selected by it within the limits of Anne Arundel County,
of such strength and size to permit its use by street railway
cars; and if at the time the said bridge requires rebuilding or
relocating it shall be within the limits of the City of Baltimore
then the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore is hereby
granted authority to rebuild said bridge over Curtis Creek on
its present location or to rebuild said bridge across Curtis Creek
