|
westwardly to an intersection with the old Frederick

Preamble.
|
and construction of said avenue, a large amount of
|
|
|
|
|
assessments for benefits were paid by the owners of
|
|
|
|
|
property upon which the same were assessed, and
|
|
|
|
|
the said avenue was partially graded and constructed,
nevertheless a considerable amount of the assess-
|
|
|
|
|
ments for benefits still remains unpaid; and not-
|
|
|
|
|
withstanding the large sum expended by the property
|
|
|
|
|
owners, and the erection by the county of a costly
|
|
|
|
|
bridge over Gwynn's falls, the avenue has, for several
|
|
|
|
|
years, remained in an unfinished condition, to the
|
|
|
|
|
great injury and inconvenience of the public, as well
|
|
|
|
|
as the property owners interested. It being there-
fore considered that the circumstances in the case of
|
|
|
|
|
said Edmondson avenue requires special legislation
|
|
|
|
|
in regard thereto.
