founding an Academy at Hager's-Town, in Washington
county.

president of the board of trustees for the time being shall appoint,
of which time and place of election he shall give one month's pre-
vious notice in the newspapers of Hager's-town, and such seven
trustees, elected in the manner above directed, and their successors,
annually so elected, shall have all the powers, perform all the du-
ties, and enjoy all the rights and immunities, which by the law to
which this is an additional supplement were given to and required
of the twenty-one trustees in the said original act mentioned.
S. And be it enacted, That the trustees hereafter to be elected as
aforesaid, and their successors, shall have full power to sell such
parts of the real estate, now held by the Hager's-town academy, as
they or a majority of the board may deem expedient, and they are,
hereby authorised to make to the purchaser or purchasers a deed or
deeds of conveyance for the same, and to apply the proceeds of
such sale, or sales towards the payment of any debt or debts with
which the institution is at present, or may hereafter be encumbered;
and they are hereby authorised and empowered, generally to do
and perform all such ads and things as they may think expedient
and necessary for the benefit of the said academy herein authorised,
or which the trustees had authority to do by the act to which this
is a supplement.
