An act to incorporate the York Road Omnibus Company,

Preamble.

WHEREAS, a large number of persons residing on,
and adjacent to the York Turnpike Road, between the
city of Baltimore and Towsontown, in Baltimore county,
experience considerable difficulty in procuring convey-
ance to and from the city aforesaid, and in order to afford
greater facilities to the travelling community, have con-
cluded to create a company by stock, and raise a capital
sufficient to purchase an Omnibus and horses, and run
the same daily from Towsontown to Baltimore, and
back; and whereas, a meeting was held on the fifth day
of January last, by said persons residing on and near
said road as aforesaid, and at which time it was organiz-

names was had to insure the object in view, it was

Assembly of Maryland, for the more permanent security
of the company, — Therefore,

Incorporated.
