An Act for Laying out and Applying a Sum not exceeding Two
Hundred and Fifty Pounds Current Money to the Uses therein
mentioned.

Preamble.

Whereas by an Act made at a Session of Assembly, begun and
held at the City of Annapolis, the Thirteenth Day of March Seven-
teen Hundred and Thirty Two, entituled, An Act for Emitting and
making Current Ninety Thousand Pounds Current Money of
Maryland in Bills of Credit, a Sum not exceeding Five Hundred
Pounds, in the said Bills of Credit, is appointed to be Applied towards
or in the Repairs of the Publick Buildings, according to the Direc-
tions of an Act passed that Session.
And Whereas it is represented to this present General Assembly,
by the major Part of such of the Trustees as were appointed to Apply
the said Five Hundred Pounds, that upon Inspection into the Repairs
necessary to be made to the Council-House, the Stadt-House, and
the Parade, in Annapolis, it is found that the said Sum is not suffi-
cient to pay for what Repairs have been made, or to Compleat the
same as it ought to be, and therefore it is necessary that a further
Sum be applied to the Purposes aforesaid, which is thought reason-
able.
