Preamble.
* Ch. 35. |
WHEREAS doubts have arisen whether the act of assembly,
entitled,
A further supplement to the act for establishing a company
for opening and extending the navigation of the river Potomac,
passed at November session seventeen hundred and ninety*, authorises
the president and directors of the said company to condemn
lands on the branches of Potomac river for the purpose of making
canals and locks in improving the navigation of such branches, and
to make agreements with the propprietors of lands whereby the water
may be used for navigation; |
President and directors
authorised
to exercise certain
powers.
† Ch. 33.
Proviso. |
1. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the president and directors shall be and they are hereby authorised
and empowered, to exercise the same powers, and to pursue the
same measures for acquiring and condemning lands for the purposes
aforesaid, on the branches of said river, and under the same
restrictions as are given and directed by the fourth, eleventh and
thirteenth sections of the act of assembly, passed at November session
seventeen hundred and eighty-four †, entitled, An act for establishing
a company for opening and extending the navigation of
the river Potomac, relative to the acquiring and condemning lands
for erecting locks and making canals on that river; and moreover,
that the president and directors of the said company shall have, on
the said branches, power to agree with the proprietors of the adjacent
lands, as to the manner of erecting dams and conducting the
water, so as to answer the purposes of navigation in such places
as in the opinion of the said president and directors it may be conveniently
done; Provided nevertheless, that the privileges and powers
by this act conferred, shall be construed to extend only to the
principal branches or streams emptying into the Potomac, to wit:
the Monocacy, Antietam and Conococheague, leaving the other
and small ones free and unoperated upon, or bound by this act:
And whereas, persons owning land on the said branches may be
desirous to improve the same for the purpose of manufacture, the
said president and directors are hereby fully authorised and empowered
to grant to the said persons the privilege of using the surplus
water for said purposes, from time to time, as they may be required
so to do. |
