Description

This suit was brought to settle the boundary lines of the riparian rights of the owners of certain lands fronting on the northeast shore of the Patapsco River for two miles between Colgate Creek and Bear Creek in the harbor of the City of Baltimore. At the northern end of the area the City owns a tract of land upon which it has built an airport, still in course of development, that covers not only fast land inside the original shore line, but also filled land and improvements in the waters of the river. A controversy has arisen between the City and the Mutual Chemical Company, which owns land adjoining the Citys property on the south, as to the location of the division line in the waters of the river separating the areas in which they are entitled to exercise their respective riparian rights. The question is whether the line should be fixed by projecting into the river the dividing line between the properties on the land, according to the course thereof as described in the deeds, until it meets the bulkhead and pierhead lines established by the federal government, or whether the dividing line in the waters of the river should run from the end of the dividing line at the shore so as to meet the bulkhead and pierhead lines at right angles. The course of the line first mentioned, which for brevity we shall call the deed line, is south 42 degrees 24 west. The course of the other line is north 66 degrees 45 25" east, and this line will be called herein the Hammond line since it was first fixed by Elmer E. Hammond, Harbor Engineer, and head of the Bureau of Harbors of Baltimore City. These lines, with the bulkhead and pierhead lines as a base, form a right angled triangle that defines the area in dispute.
