River, on the great road leading from the cities of Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and through the populous counties of York and
Lancaster in the state of Pennsylvania, to the town of Frederick,

the trade and general interest of the community, which are at

the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore, and the western
counties of this state, and the western states, is desirous of erecting
a bridge as aforesaid across the said river at Williams' ferry,

assembly to vest the said bridge, when built, in him, his heirs
and assigns for ever, with liberty to demand and receive such toll
or fees from travellers, and others, as hereinafter expressed; the
said William E. Williams, engaging for himself, his heirs and assigns,
that if at any future day the levy court of Frederick county
shall think proper to make the same a free bridge, he or they shall
surrender and give up their right to receive toll for the said bridge,
upon receiving a reasonable compensation for his trouble and expense,
to be estimated by indifferent persons, chosen as herein after
expressed and declared: And whereas the plan proposed by the
said William E. Williams for erecting a toll bridge over Monocacy
River, appears to this general assembly to be beneficial to the
public, therefore, |
