A Supplement, 1807, ch. 99. |
Passed Jan. 3, 1807. |
WHEREAS it has been represented to this general
assembly, by a
great number of respectable inhabitants of Cecil county, that the
communication established between Baltimore and Philadelphia, by
way of French-town, on Elk river, and New-Castle, on the Delaware
river, has become an object of great public importance and
utility, and that there never has been a public road laid out from
French town to the county road, called the Back Creek Road, and
that there is much delay and hindrance experienced by the circuitous
road they are now compelled to use, and that this great inconvenience
can be remedied by this general assembly enacting a law,
authorising certain commissioners to lay out a road from French-town,
to intersect a road in the Delaware state, laid down by the
commissioners of New Castle county, in as straight a line as the
situation of the lands, and the nature of the ground, will admit; and
the prayer of said petitioners being considered very reasonable,
therefore, |
Preamble. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
Richard Ford Alexander, Isaac Taylor, Adam Whann, William
Hollingsworth and John G. Richardson, or a majority of them, be
and they are hereby appointed commissioners to survey, lay out and
open, at the expense of the proprietors of the French-town and New-Castle
water and land stages, a road, forty five feet in with, including
ditches, in as straight and convenient a direction as may
be, from French-town, in Cecil county, until it shall intersect the
divisional line between this state and the state of Delaware, at a road
lately laid out by the commissioners of New Castle county, in the
state of Delaware; and be it provided, that the said road shall not
be laid out through the garden, yard, meadow or orchard, of any
individual, without his or her consent first had and obtained in writing. |
