| Preamble. |
WHEREAS the trustees of Washington academy, in Somerset
county,
have represented to this general assembly, that by the act, entitled,
An act to incorporate the managers of Back-creek school, direction
and powers are given for the election of trustees in the room and place
of trustees
dying or removing out of the county, but no provision is made by the
said
act to fill up the seat and place of any trustee who may neglect to
qualify after
having been appointed, or who may resign his seat, or absent himself
from the
meeting of the said trustees, by which much damage and several inconveniencies
have and may happen to the said academy: For remedy whereof, |
In case of resignation
another
to be appointed,
&c. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the general assembly of Maryland, That in case any
person heretofore named or elected, or that shall hereafter be elected,
a trustee of
the said academy, have or shall resign his seat, or have neglected or shall
neglect,
to qualify or attend at two succeeding half-yearly meetings of the said
trustees
appointed by the said act of assembly, without such excuse of necessary
absence
as shall be judged reasonable by a board of the said trustees duly assembled
at one
of the half-yearly meetings aforesaid, such board of trustees, so assembled,
shall
proceed to fill up the seat and place of such member who shall resign his
seat, or
who shall neglect or have neglected to qualify or attend as aforesaid. |
Number may
be increased. |
III. And,
whereas the said trustees have further represented, that in order to
render the said institution more extensively useful to the youth in the
counties
adjacent to the same, they have determined to extend the system of education,
so
as to have taught in the said academy not only the languages, but all the
arts
and sciences, and that many persons in the counties of Dorchester, Somerset
and
Worcester, in this state, Accomack and Northampton in the state of Virginia,
and Sussex county in the Delaware state, have subscribed to the amount
of upwards
of five thousand pounds for that purpose; and also that a greater number
of trustees might be for the advantage of the said academy, and have by
the said
petition expressed a desire the number may be increased to eighteen, and
that
trustees may be chosen from the counties aforesaid, which have contributed
for
the support of the said academy; all which appearing to this assembly to
be just
and reasonable, and they being desirous by all lawful ways and means to
encourage
and promote knowledge within this state, on which liberty and public happiness
so much depends: Therefore, Be it enacted,
That the trustees of the
said academy shall and may, at their next half-yearly meetings, increase
the number |
