Ramp Experts Bill Sparks City Council Debate
A Baltimore firm, J. B. Greiner, presented a $5,000 bill to the city for expert services evaluating and condemning the ramp at the Chesapeake and Ohio passenger station. Officials planned to bill the railway for part and cover the rest themselves, after the ramp was found settled on its foundations and deemed unsafe. A repair estimate of about $5,000 was recommended, which would exceed the original shared cost. The railway proposed an alternative funding method, with further details on Page 7.
