Commissioners
appointed,
&c.

    IV.  And be it enacted, That the several streets hereafter named, t wit:
Lee-street, Barré-street, Conway-street, and Cambden-street, be continued and
extended their present breadth to the intersection of a line from the east side of
Light-street drawn and continued to Forest-street, and they and each of them
shall be respectively deemed and considered for ever hereafter public highways.

    V.  And be it enacted, That each and every proprietor or proprietors of a lot
or lots binding on the said streets respectively, and entitled to be extended by this
law, shall, at the time of extending or wharfing out the front of their several
lots, extend, fill up and wharf out, the said streets respectively, so far as the
said lots are extended, improved and wharfed out, and not farther; and in consideration
of the expence and trouble of attending the same, the person or persons
so binding on said streets, and so filling up, continuing and extending, said streets,
shall be for ever entitled to the right of wharfage on and at the end of said
streets respectively, according to the number of feet front by them respectively
filled out, and to all the profits and advantages thereof; provided, that if the
special commissioners of Baltimore-town shall elect to fill up, extend or wharf
out, said streets, or any of them, they are hereby authorised and empowered so
to do, at the public expence, and to retain the right, profits and emoluments,
of wharfage at the respective terminations of said streets for the use and benefit
of Baltimore-town, or to declare the same free and public wharfs; provided also,
that the said special commissioners shall, upon application to them made by the
person or persons holding lots binding on said streets, or any of them, elect,
within thirty days after such application, whether they will make out and extend
said streets or not.

    VI.  And be it enacted, That Charles-street shall be and is hereby extended
and opened from Cambden-street to Barré-street.

    VII.  And, whereas by an act of assembly, entitled, An Act to empower the
commissioners of Baltimore-town to make a correct survey of the said town, and
for other purposes therein mentioned, it was, among other things, enacted, that
certain commissioners were thereby authorised and permitted to make and open a
canal, not exceeding forty feet wide, and of a convenient and reasonable depth, 
from the upper part of the bason of Baltimore-town to the ferry branch of Patapsco
river, beginning the same on the bason at a street called Forest-street:
And whereas two of the said commissioners are since dead, and the law yet remains
unexecuted; therefore, Be it enacted, That James Carroll, Richard Caton, 
Christopher Johnson, David Williamson and George Pressman, or a majority of
them, be and are hereby authorised and empowered to carry the provisions of the
said act into execution, respecting the said canal, in as full and ample manner, to
all intents and purposes, as the commissioners nominated under the said recited
act might heretofore have done, any thing to the contrary thereof in this present
act notwithstanding; and that they, or a majority of them, have full power and 
authority to lay out and run the said canal along Forest-street aforesaid, as far as
convenient, towards the said ferry branch; provided, that in case the said commissioners,
or a majority of them, shall not proceed to open and complete the
said canal within the term of seven years from the passage of this act, that then
