Passed Feb. 2, 1830.
                                        CHAPTER 178.

A supplement to the act, entitled, " an act incorporating the
    Master and Wardens of Clinton Lodge, No.    of Free
    and Accepted Masons for the purposes therein mentioned."
    passed at December session, eighteen hundred and twenty-six,
    chapter one hundred and forty-three.

Preamble.

a Masonic Hall was authorised to be erected in Chestertown,
and a capital stock not exceeding three thousand dollars to be
raised for the purpose of completing said building; and whereas

not masons; and whereas, it would be but reasonable and right,
that the said stockholders should have the management and
direction of the stock, instead of the Master and Wardens of
the said Lodge, and that the sum of three thousand dollars not
being sufficient for the purpose of erecting the said building,
increase should be made thereto; Therefore,
Capital—election.












Corporate powers
granted.
    Section 1.  Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the capital stock in the said Masonic Hall shall not
exceed four thousand dollars, and that William Barroll, George
W. Thomas and Joseph Wickes, fourth, Esquires, be and are
hereby appointed commissioners for the purpose of holding an
election for a President and five Directors, who shall be
stockholders, after giving five days notice by advertisement,
set up in the most public places in Chestertown, which said
persons when elected shall be styled " The President and Directors
of the Masonic Hall Company in Chestertown," and
as such and their successors be and are hereby declared a
body corporate, and as such and by that name, may sue and
