one thousand
seven hundred and ninety-eight. * Lib. JG.
No. 4, fol. 179. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS by the act of assembly to which this is
a supplement,
the levy court of said county did appoint commissioner to lay out
and survey a road from Elizabeth-town, in Washington county, to
the Pennsylvania line in Nicholson's gap: And whereas the said
commissioners did proceed to lay out and survey the said road,
and did survey and lay out the said road in different directions,
one of which has been confirmed by the said court, which road, so
confirmed by the said court, it is represented to this general assembly,
by a large number of respectable inhabitants of said county,
is the most inconvenient and expensive, and on the worst ground:
And whereas it is also represented to this general assembly, that
of the present levy court of the said county had the power to reject,
alter, change or confirm, the said road, it would be highly
beneficial to the inhabitants of the said county; therefore, |
Justices may reject,
alter or
change road. |

of Maryland, That
the justices of the levy court of Washington county be and they are

laid out by the commissioners appointed under this act to which this
is a supplement, or to lay out a new road in the direction aforesaid;
and the justices of the levy court are authorised and empowered to
appoint commissioners for any or either of the purposes aforesaid,
which commissioners, when appointed, shall have all the powers,
and be subject to all the limitations, given by the original act. |
Powers of supervisors

given to the supervisor
