TH. No. 1, fol. 397. |
| Preamble. |

mill across said bridge, until it intersects the main road leading
from the North-West Fork Bridge to Marshahope Bridge; and the
prayer of the said petitioners appearing reasonable, therefore, |
Commissioners
appointed for
building bridge. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly

now stands, over said branch, and the said commissioners, or a
majority of them, are hereby empowered to agree and contract
with any person or persons, upon the best and cheapest terms they
can, to finish and complete the said bridge in a good, substantial
and workman-like manner. |

thereof, which said sum of money shall be collected in the same

who may voluntarily offer their assistance, not exceeding twenty-four
feet in width, to commence at or near Douglass's mill aforesaid,
and to run from thence in the most convenient direction over
the Old Bloomery aforesaid, and through James Houston's lane,

of them, may think most expedient, until it intersects the main
road leading from the North-West Fork Bridge to Marshahope
