See 1810, ch. 69. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of sundry inhabitants of Harford county, that the convenience
of the public would be greatly promoted by laying out a new
road from the fork of the road in Stephen Rigdon's lane to William
Clark's ford on Deer Creek, and by straightening and amending
the old road from thence until it shall conveniently intersect the road
leading from Underhill's mill to Belle-Air; therefore, |
Commissioners appointed
to lay out
a road. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
Parker Hall Lee, Joshua Rutledge and Jacob Albert, be and they
are hereby appointed commissioners, and they, or a majority of them,
are hereby authorised to lay out a road from the fork of the road
in Stephen Rigdon's lane to William Clark's ford on Deer creek,
on the straightest and best direction that the nature of the ground
will admit of, so as to injure private property as little as may be
to comport with the public good, and the said commissioners, or
a majority of them, are hereby authorised to lay out, straighten and
amend, the road now open from the aforesaid ford on Deer creek,
until it shall conveniently intersect the road leading from Underhill's
mill to Belle-Air, on the nearest and best direction that shall
appear to them most conducive to the public good, so as to injure
private property as little as may be, so as the same shall not be laid
out nor straightened to run through the yard, orchard or garden, or
any person or persons, without his, her or their consent; and the
said commissioners, or a majority of them, shall cause a survey of
the road, so by them laid out, to be made, and a plot thereof to be
returned to the clerk's office of Harford county court, there to be
recorded. |
