CHAPTER 179.
AN ACT giving the assent of the State of Maryland, to
such plan as may be adopted by the President of the
United States, for supplying the City of Washington
with Water.
|
Preamble.
|
WHEREAS, the Congress of the
United States, have
appropriated the sum of one hundred thousand dollars,
for the purpose of supplying the city of Washington
with water, upon such plan as the President of the
United States may approve, on the condition, that if
such plan should require said water to be drawn from any
source within the limits of the State of Maryland, the assent
of that State should first be obtained; And whereas,
by a joint resolution of Congress, passed in September
eighteen hundred and forty-one, it is provided, that no
public money shall be expended upon any land or site
hereafter to be purchased for the United States, until
the consent of the Legislature of the State in which the
land or site may be, shall be given for such purpose, and
as it is also made the duty of the Secretary or head of
the proper department, to apply to said Legislature for
a cession of the necessary jurisdiction over said lands;
Therefore,
|
Consent given.
|
SECTION 1. Be it enacted
by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That if the plan adopted by the President
of the United States for supplying the city of Washington
with water, should require said water to be drawn
from any source within the limits of this State, consent
is hereby given to the United States to purchase such
lands, and to construct such dams, reservoirs, buildings
and other works, and to exercise concurrently with the
State of Maryland, such jurisdiction over the same as
may be necessary for the said purpose.
