An Act for erecting a Town at or near the Mouth of Will's Creek,
in
Allegany County. Lib. TH. No. 1, fol. 129.
A Supplement,
1816, ch. 79. See 1815, ch. 136, and 1816, ch. 92. |
Passed Jan. 27, 1806. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
that Thomas
Beall, son of Samuel, and other persons, did lay off a parcel
of their land contiguous to the mouth of Will's creek, in Allegany
county, into lots, a great part of which have since been purchased,
and considerable improvement made thereon, and there being no
record of the same, the titles of the proprietors thereof are precarious
and uncertain; and it appearing right and proper that commissioners
should be appointed to lay out and erect a town on the
said lands, and to secure the purchasers of lots therein, reserving
the right of the proprietors, and their interest, in the said lands,
therefore, |

they, or any three of them, shall have power and authority to direct
the surveyor of Allegany county, or any person whom they
may think proper to appoint, to survey the said town, and the several
lots therein, and make out an exact plot thereof, and shall
ascertain and limit the extent of the lots, streets and lanes thereof
most agreeably to their original location, according to the best evidence
that can be obtained; and the said lots, so laid out, shall by
them be numbered one, two, three, and so on, for distinguishing |
Commissioners

town and lots,
