An Act to confirm and make valid the Acts and Proceedings of the Commission-
ers of the Town of Princess-Anne, in Somerset County.
Whereas the act which provided for the appointment of com-
missioners for the regulation and improvement of the said town and
precincts, among other tilings directed, that an election for one of
the commissioners should be held at the court-house in said town
annually in the month of April: And whereas from some misappre-
hension, such an election was not held during the month of April
last, as required and directed by the. said act; and doubts have
been entertained as to the legality of the acts and proceedings of
the present commissioners; therefore,
1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That all
acts and proceedings which have been made and done by the com-
missioners of the town of Princess-Anne, subsequent to the month
of April one, thousand eight hundred and nineteen, shall be valid,
and shall have the same effect and operation in law, as if the said
election had been held in the said month of April one thousand
eight hundred and nineteen.
2. And be it enacted, That the election for commissioners of the
town of Princess-Anne, made, subsequent to the month of April, be
as valid as if the same had been made in the month of April, and
that all the immunities and privileges which have been granted the
said commissioners, by a law passed at December session eighteen
hundred and fifteen, be and are contained.
