Judge condemns second water line despite 'badly treated' remark
Federal Judge W. Calvin Chesnut approved a condemnation order to lay a second water line across the Rose Hill property in Frederick to serve Camp Detrick. He criticized the prior treatment of owners Thomas Johnson and the Cramers, noting they were offered only 130 for a 1,200 foot right of way. The Cramers alleged the first line ruined an underground spring, affecting their dairy farm, and accused the government of failing to honor an earlier agreement to dig a new well or permit other routing.
