A Supplement to an Act †, entitled, An Act to incorporate
a Company
to make a Turnpike Road from near Ellicott's Lower Mills
towards
George-Town, in the District of Columbia. Lib.
TH. No.
2, fol. 566. |
Passed Dec. 24.
† Nov. 1809, ch. 128. |
WHEREAS it hath been represented to this general
assembly, by
the petition of a number of the commissioners appointed to receive
subscriptions for making a turnpike road from near Ellicott's lower
mills towards George-town, that they opened subscription
books, but that a sufficient number of shares could not be obtained
to authorise the organization of the company, owing to a restriction
in the law, that the said road was to be located so as to cross
Rock Creek, at not less than three miles above George-town; and
that difficulties have also arisen on account of the large number of
shares limited to be subscribed before the law could legally go
into operation; and therefore they prayed that a supplement to the
said law might pass authorising the president and managers, that
may be appointed, to locate the said road on such direction as may
be found most convenient, without paying any regard to the restriction
before mentioned, which appearing reasonable, |
Preamble. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
it shall and may be lawful for the president and managers who may
hereafter be chosen in conformity to the act to which this is a supplement,
and they are hereby aurhorised, to locate the said road
from near Ellicott's lower mills to the line of the district of Columbia, |
Road may be located
without regard
to restriction
to cross Rock
Creek, &c. |
