CHAPTER 249.

An act for opening and extending South-Street, in the Ci-
ty of Baltimore.
Whereas Robert Mills, president of the Baltimore Water
Company, John E. Howard, James Hindman, and others, have
by their petition to this general assembly set forth, that a new
road, to be opened by widening and extending North Lane, in-

of Baltimore, till it intersects the York-town turnpike road, in
the judgment of your memorialists is highly desirable and neces-
sary, and if laid out would prove to be eminently advantageous,
and of permanent utility, not only to the citizens of Baltimore,
but also to the whole community, to be laid out as follows; that
is to say; Beginning at the north-east corner of Baltimore-street,
and North Lane, and running thence along the east side of North
Lane, (viz. South-street extended) to its intersection with the
west side of the Baltimore Water Company's canal, thence
along the west side of the said canal to its intersection with
Jones's Falls, thence along the west side of Jones's Falls to a
point north twenty-nine and an half degrees, east thirteen per

and Forman's Mill, thence in a straight line along the east side
of the proposed road to the. north-west corner of the abutment pa-
rapet wall of the bridge on the York turnpike road; Therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
William Lorman, Solomon Etting, Isaac Tyson, James Wilson.
James Carroll and George Hoffman, or a majority of them, be
and they are hereby appointed commissioners to open, extend
and lay out, the said street, of such width as the said commis-
