An ACT to establish a third inspection of tobacco in George-town,
in Montgomery county. |
Passed December
21. |
WHEREAS sundry inhabitants of Montgomery county
have, by their
petition, set forth to this general assembly, that the public warehouses
now established by law in George-town, in the county aforesaid, are
insufficient for the reception of the tobacco brought to said warehouses
for inspection,
especially in the present year, when it may be reasonably expected
that
a quantity not less than ten thousand hogsheads will be brought to
said warehouses
for inspection, a quantity far exceeding the ability of any four inspectors
to inspect
and ship off without subjecting the petitioners to great injury and
inconvenience;
wherefore they have prayed, that an act may pass or establishing one
other inspection of tobacco at George-town aforesaid: And whereas
there is a lot
or parcel of ground conveniently situated to all the wharfs in the
said town, laid
out and set apart in the year seventeen hundred and forty-nine, with

of George Gordon, the then proprietor thereof, for the express purposes
aforesaid; |
