CHAP. LXVIII.
An act authorising the City Commissioners to open and extend Water-Street
in the City of Baltimore. Lib. JG. No. 4, fol. 442. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of sundry inhabitants of the city of Baltimore, that one of
the butments of Water-street bridge, over Jones's Falls, stands on
part of a lot of ground belonging to Thorowgood Smith, that the
said lot is now enclosed, which renders the bridge entirely useless,
except for foot passengers, to the great inconvenience and detriment
of the community, and particularly to the proprietors of
houses and lots in Water-street and King-George-street, in the immediate
vicinity of the said bridge, and praying that a law may
pass to open and extend Water-street to the said bridge: And
whereas the mayor and city council of Baltimore have, by their
ordinance, bearing the date twenty-second day of March last, appropriated
to this desirable object the sum of five hundred dollars,
out of the funds belonging to the said city, which sum is inadequate to
the purpose; therefore, |
Water-street to be
opened and extended. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the city commissioners shall and they are hereby authorised and
empowered to lay out, open and extend, Water-street, to the said
bridge, in a straight line drawn from the north side thereof,
through Thorowgood Smith's lot and Griffith Evans's lot, until it
intersects Water-street at the south-east corner of a two story
brick house now occupied by John Stickney, and company; and the
said street, when so opened and extended, and the valuation and
assessment herein after directed to be made shall have taken place,
shall be deemed and taken, and is hereby declared, to be a public
street and highway for ever thereafter; and the said commissioners
are hereby required to return a plot of the said part of Water-street,
so opened and extended, to the register of the city, who
shall receive and file the same as part of the plot of the city of
Baltimore. |
