to intersect the York Turnpike Road. Lib.
TH. No. 1, fol. 418. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of sundry inhabitants of Fell's Point, and its vicinity, in the
city of Baltimore, that they labour under great inconvenience from
the want of a direct communication with the county in a northwestern
direction from that part of the city of Baltimore called
Fells' Point; and it being prayed that a law may pass to lay out a
road from the northern end of Bond-street, on Fell's Point, to intersect
the York road below where the Fall's turnpike road intersects
it, (at or near the stone bridge near Josias Pennington's mill;)
and the prayer of the said petition appearing reasonable, therefore, |
Commissioners
appointed to lay
out and open road. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
James Biays, John Snyder, John Lee, William Jackson, William
Trimble, John Coulter, Joseph Biays, Thomas Tenant, John Ogston,
Thomas Cole, Joseph Allender and James Ramsay, or a majority
of them, be and they are hereby appointed commissioners to
lay out and open a road of the width of sixty feet, extending from
the northern extremity of Bond-street, on Fell's Point, to intersect
the York turnpike road between Doctor Henry Stevenson's
and the stone bridge above Pennington's mill; and the said road,
when opened and made, shall be deemed and considered a public
highway for ever, and as such shall be kept in repair in the same
manner that other public roads in Baltimore county are. |
Damages to be
ascertained. |
3. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the said commissioners
shall
value and ascertain the damages to be suffered and sustained by
each and every person through whose ground the said road shall
pass, and shall cause a plot of said road to be made out, and shall
return the same, and a statement of their proceedings had in virtue
of this act, under their hands and seals, to the clerk of Baltimore
county court, there to be kept as other public records are; Provided,
that nothing in this act contained shall have any force, operation
or effect, unless the persons interested, or conceiving themselves
interested, in the said road, shall pay all damages ascertained as
aforesaid, and all expenses incurred in the opening, making and
finishing, said road, and shall build and erect thereon good and
substantial bridges at all places where the same may be necessary;
Provided also, that any person or persons through whose land the
said road shall pass, not being satisfied with the damages ascertained
by the commissioners, may have a jury summoned in the
usual way to ascertain the same, whose valuation shall be final and
binding on all concerned. |
