the several Bridges that have been heretofore made over the Heads
of Rivers, Creeks, Branches, Swamps, and other low and miry
Places, are very much broken and out of Repair, and several new Bridges
are still wanting; and that it is the general Complaint of the Overseers

Making new ones, being forewarned by the Owners of the adjacent Lands
from cutting any Trees necessary for such Repairing or Making of Bridges.

Proprietary,
by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Governor, and
the Upper
and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Authority of the same, That
from and
after the End of this present Session of Assembly, it shall and may
be lawful
for the several and respective Overseers of the Highways within this
Province,
and they are hereby impowered, as often as Need shall require, for
repairing
and making of Bridges over the Heads of Rivers, Creeks, Branches, Swamps,
or other low and miry Places, to cut down, or cause to be cut down,
any
Tree or Trees, growing on any of the next adjacent Lands to such Bridges
necessary to be made or repaired, and the same Trees to maul or cause
to be
mauled, and carried from such adjacent Lands, and applied to the Making
and necessary Repairs of such Bridges as aforesaid.
III. Provided
always, That the Trees allowed to be cut down, in Manner
and for the Use aforesaid, be not such as are fit to make Clapboards,
or
Cooper's Timber; not for the Building or Repairing any Bridges that
are
built or maintained at a Public or County Charge.
