An additional supplementary act to the act, entitled, An act for
building a new church in the city of Annapolis. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS the trustees appointed to build the said
church were directed
by the aforesaid original act to build an elegant church, adorned
with a steeple, the expence whereof was estimated at six thousand
pounds current money, one half thereof to be raised by subscription, and
the
other half to be paid by the public and the parishioners equally:
And whereas
it appears to this general assembly, that the said trustees, in obedience
to the
aforesaid act, in the year seventeen hundred and seventy-six, purchased
materials
to a large amount, most of which, during the war, were take and carried
away,
party by individuals, and partly by the order of the council of safety,
for the
construction of batteries, barracks, and other public uses; that during
the war,
the said trustees were obliged to desist from the further prosecution of
the work;
that by a supplementary act passed in the year seventeen hundred and eighty-five,
the said trustees were directed to proceed on the execution of the trust
reposed in
them, and to call on all persons who had any of the materials, and oblige
them
to account and pay for the same, and to open new subscriptions; that in
compliance
with the directions of the said act, the said trustees have procured a
liberal
subscription, to the amount of three thousand four hundred and fifty-four |
