Limits B. & C. Inquiry Referred to Hostile Committee in Maryland
Maryland Senate referral of Limits B and C inquiry to a hostile committee aims to investigate the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

Perkins argues the resolution alone is insufficient. the judiciary committee gets the reference. He and Mudd led Republicans to align with administration backing as the charters and stock details for lines through Baltimore and Harford, Frederick, and other counties emerge, with broad coverage of stockholders and capital plans. The article also notes court opinions and a series of unrelated notices about rail bids, railroad purchases, and local incidents across Maryland and nearby states.
