CHAPTER 60.

Passed
Jan. 28, 1848.

An act supplementary to an act entitled, an act to in-
corporale companies to make several turnpike roads
through Baltimore county, and for other purposes,
passed at November session eighteen hundred and four,
chapter fifty-one.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, doubts have arisen, and may continue to
arise, concerning the true location of the several turn-
pike roads established under the act to which this is a
supplement, and under the acts of December session
eighteen hundred and thirteen, chapter one hundred
and twenty-two, and eighteen hundred and twenty-one,
chapter thirty-one, the courses and distances of said
turnpike roads being liable to vary in a length of time
from the original running thereof, and encroachments
being made from time to time upon the limits of said
roads as by law established, to the inconvenience and
obstruction of the travelling thereon, tending gradually
and constantly to impair the usefulness of these valuable
public thoroughfares, unless the evil be arrested; and
whereas, the marking and bounding the course and dis-
tances of said turnpike roads, so as to render their lim-
its and location fixed and certain, and to establish a per-
petual memorial thereof, will settle doubts and prevent
differences and law suits, establish boundaries, and se-
cure in future to the public, without let or molestation,
the full use and enjoyment of these great and public
highways, according to the intention of the legislature,
as expressed in the several acts of incorporation afore-
said — Therefore,

Upon petition,
to mark and
bound road.
