CHAP. LXXVI.
An Act to quiet the possessions, and fix the lines, of the Lots
of
Ground fronting on the west side of Philpot Street,
between Will-Street
and Thames-Street, in the City of Baltimore. Lib.
TH. No.
1, fol. 391. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of the owners of lots fronting on the west side of Philpot-street,
between Will-street and Thames-street, that houses have
been erected on said lots, and many of them upwards of thirty years
ago, agreeably to what was believed and considered the true location
of their lots, and established boundaries of that part of the west
side of Philpot-street which lies between Will-street and Thames-street,
but upon a recent application to the city commissioners to
establish the boundaries of said Philpot-street, it appears by the
plot of the town that each of the owners of the said lots had built
their houses nine feet too far northward, so that the owner of the
house erected at the corner formed by the intersection of the south
side of Will-street, and west side of Will-street, had encroached
nine feet upon Will-street: And whereas it is represented that no
inconvenience to the community or inquiry to individuals will result
from a contraction of the width of Will-street, in such manner as to
quiet the possessions of the said owners of the said lots agreeably
to the prayer of their petition; therefore, |
Commissioners of
city of Baltimore
authorised to fix
and establish
boundaries of certain
lots, &c. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the city commissioners of the city of Baltimore, or a majority of
them, be and they are hereby authorised and empowered, after giving |
