Treasurer of Baltimore county, as herein directed, and one
to be appointed by the Mayor of Baltimore city and one to
be appointed by the County Commissioners of Anne Arundel
county, for the purpose of passing 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 con-
clusive on both parties. In ascertaining the said fair valua-
tion of said properties, or the amount to be paid to the Treas-
urer of each of said counties, respectively, the arbitrators shall
take into consideration the location of each of said school-
houses, 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 terri-
tory 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 furniture, respectively,
at a nominal valuation, and any such fire engine house, lot
and apparatus, station house and lot, or schoolhouse, lot and
furniture, so situated as to be, in the judgment of said arbi-
trators, of use to the inhabitants of the counties outside of the
territory to be annexed by this Act to Baltimore city, shall
be valued according to the judgment of said arbitrators, ac-
cording to its usefulness to the people of the counties outside
of the territory annexed by this Act to Baltimore city. The
intention of this section is that the Mayor and City Council
of Baltimore shall pay to the Treasurer of Baltimore county
and the Treasurer of Anne Arundel county, respectively, the
fair value of any and every use of the public property herein-
above mentioned situate within the territory annexed by this
Act to Baltimore city, of which the inhabitants of the county
outside of said territory are deprived by this Act.
'In addition to the payments hereinabove directed to be
made, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore shall also pay
to the Treasurer of Anne Arundel county the fair value of the
existing bridge over Curtis Creek, included within the terri-
tory annexed by this Act to Baltimore city, said value to be
'ascertained' in case of disagreement, by the arbitrators above
