A Further Supplement to the act, * entitled, An act to incorporate
Companies to make several Turnpike Roads through Baltimore
County, and for other purposes. Lib. TH. No. 1,
fol. 486. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
that the
Baltimore and York turnpike road, as laid out by the commissioners
of review in Baltimore county, between the Western Run and
the Pennsylvania line, have laid out the said road on a straight
line, although it passed over extreme high rocky hills and precipices,
and by varying or altering the course from one to eight perches
in a few places, would lay it out on better ground, not lengthen
the course, and save considerable sums of money to the corporation;
therefore, |
President and
managers authorised
to make any
alteration on certain
part of York
turnpike. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the president and managers of said corporation shall and they are
hereby authorised and directed, to make any alteration in the York
turnpike road, as confirmed by the commissioners of review, from
the Western Run aforesaid to the Pennsylvania line, so as the said
turnpike road shall not vary from the bed or course of the road,
as laid out by the commissioners of review, more than eight perches,
and shall again return into the bed or course of the said road as
soon as convenient; and when the said road shall be so altered and
laid out, two correct plots thereof shall be made out, one to be returned
to the clerk of Baltimore county, and one to the register of
the city of Baltimore, to be by them recorded amongst their records. |
