TH.
No. 1, fol. 241.
See 1807, ch. 158. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of sundry inhabitants of Washington county, that the opening
of a public road from the state line at Peter Baker's, where
the road lately laid out from Green-Castle, in Pennsylvania, joins
the state line, to intersect the main road leading from Hager's-town
to Baltimore, through Charlton's Gap, at the foot of the
South Mountain, near Robert Hughes's, would remove great inconveniencies
under which said petitioners now labour, and would
greatly contribute to the public utility; therefore, |
Commissioners appointed
to lay out
and survey a road. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
William Gabby, Robert Hughes and Jacob Rench, be and they are
hereby appointed commissioners, to lay out and survey a road from
the state line, at Peter Baker's, where the road lately laid out
from Green-Castle, in Pennsylvania, joins the state line, to intersect
the main road leading from Hager's-town to Baltimore,
through Charlton's Gap, at the foot of the South Mountain, near
Robert Hughes's, not exceeding forty feet in width, in as straight
a line as the nature of the ground and the restrictions herein after
mentioned will admit of, and without delay execute, sign and seal,
plain plots of the same, with explicit explanations thereof, and
make return of such plots and explanations, shall
examine the same, together with all the evidence that shall or may
be offered for or against the road so returned, and upon consideration |
