CHAP. XLIX.
An Act to stop up, enclose and improve, a Ten Foot Alley in the
City of Baltimore. Lib. TH. No. 1, fol. 245. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of sundry inhabitants of the city of Baltimore, that they are
possessed of sundry dwelling houses and stores on the west side of
Calvert-street, in the city of Baltimore, extending from Water-street
to a ten foot alley, left open by the owners of the grounds for
their mutual advantage and convenience; that the said petitioners
are owners of the grounds west from the said ten foot alley to a public
alley of sixteen feet, and the said petitioners find, from experience,
that the aforesaid ten foot alley, from its not being under the
directions of the city commissioners, is now become a very great
nuisance, not only to your petitioners, but generally to the inhabitants
contiguous thereto; that the said petitioners have executed articles
of agreement, bearing date the twenty-sixth day November,
one thousand eight hundred and six, whereby they have mutually
agreed, that the aforesaid private alley shall be no longer occupied
or kept open as such, but shall be improved and enclosed
in such manner as the owners of such property, through which it
passes, or are adjoining thereto, may think proper, as far as their
property respectively extends, and that several of the present owners
of the aforesaid property, having become purchasers of the same,
since the aforesaid ten foot alley has been occupied as such: And
whereas some of their titles, by their expressions, may be bounded
on the same, and doubts may arise as to the right of shutting it up,
and securing to each respective owner the right to the adjoining
ground; and the prayer of the petitioners appearing reasonable,
therefore, |
Alley may be stopped
up. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
it shall and may be lawful for the said petitioners to stop up, enclose
and improve upon, the aforesaid ten foot alley, and severally
to have, hold and enjoy, to their own use, those parts thereof lying
between their grounds respectively, each one half; that is to say,
five feet to each owner on either side of the alley, any law to the
contrary notwithstanding. |
