Passed Dec. 31. |
WHEREAS by an act, * entitled, An additional supplement
to an
act, † entitled, An act to straighten and amend the public roads in
Harford county, and for other purposes, certain commissioners were
appointed to lay out a public road, beginning at Belle-Air, and
thence running in the direction therein mentioned, so as to
intersect a public road from Thomas Underhill's mill leading to

store: And whereas it is represented to this general assembly, by
the petition of a very large number of inhabitants residing between
Deer creek and Peach Bottom Ferry, and others, in Harford county,
that the said road has not been laid out upon ground best calculated
for the public convenience, and does not intersect the road
above mentioned from Underhill's mill leading to Peach Bottom, at
Glasgow's store, as directed by the said additional supplement, but
intersects the line of Pennsylvania at a point about two miles distant
from said store, and from which there is no intermediate public
road to connect the same to the said road from Underhill's mill;
and further, that all the proprietors of land over which the road
prayed to be reviewed is now contemplated to run, are willing and
desirous that the same should be allowed, and praying that commissioners
may be by law appointed to review the said road; and
the said prayer being reasonable, and the road of great public utility,
inasmuch as it is an extension of the road contemplated to
be opened from the city of Baltimore to Belle-Air, therefore, |
