The following messages:
By the SENATE, December 31, 1799.
GENTLEMEN,
AS certain inconveniencies are acknowledged to exist
under the present ferry laws, as mentioned
in our message upon that subject, which we are desirous should be remedied,
we have originated
a bill, entitled, An additional supplementary act to the act to regulate
public ferries for
this purpose. We flatter ourselves, that leaving the policy of the
changes contemplated by you
to the consideration of a future legislature, you will think it adviseable
to adopt the additional
provisions which are offered, and we accordingly solicit your concurrence
therewith.
By order,
A. VAN-HORN, clk.
By the SENATE, December 31, 1799.
GENTLEMEN,
WE have finished all the business before us, and being
convinced that we shall not have a senate
after Thursday next, we take the liberty of suggesting to you the propriety
of acting upon
such business only as cannot well be dispensed with. We have determined
not to act upon any
private business after Wednesday next, and conceive that the advanced stage
of the session, and
the great expence already incurred thereby, will justify us in such determination.
By order,
A. VAN-HORN, clk.
Which were read.
The resolution in favour of John Whiteford, endorsed; " By the senate,
December 31, 1799:
" Read the first time and ordered to lie on the table.
" By order,
A. VAN-HORN, clk.
" By the senate, December 31, 1799: Read the second time and assented
to.
" By order,
A. VAN-HORN, clk."
