Commissioners
to review,
&c. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly, that the commissioners
of review for Baltimore county, appointed under the act of
November session, seventeen hundred and ninety-five, entitled, A
supplement to an act, entitled, An act to lay out several turnpike
roads in Baltimore
county, have not, in all instances, reviewed and confirmed the roads,
as laid down under the original acts to which the above law is a supplement,
and many inconveniencies have arisen to those through whose lands the
said roads have been laid out, from the state of uncertainty in which
the proprietors
remain as to the final direction of said roads; therefore,
II. Be it enacted,by
the General Assembly of Maryland, That the said commissioners
of review, or a majority of them, shall, on or before the first Monday
of September next, review, and ultimately ascertain, the direction
of all roads
which, by the original act to which this is a further supplement, they
are authorised
to review, and ultimately ascertain, not heretofore reviewed and ascertained
agreeably to the provisions of the original act; and when the said
road or
roads shall be so ascertained, a plot shall be returned thereof within
two months
to the county clerk of Baltimore, for the purpose of being recorded. |
