LAWS OF MARYLAND.
thereof; that at the time these petitioners purchased their
several interests therein, it was commonly believed and supposed by
them, that Rogers's Addition did adjoin immediately thereunto,
but it now appears, that a considerable space of ground, unaffected
by any act of incorporation with the town aforesaid, does intervene
and separate Rogers's Addition from the improved part thereof,
and with the distance of said addition, does entirely cut off and
deprive the holders of lots in that part of the now city of Baltimore,
from all the benefits and advantages contemplated by the junction
and incorporation of the same, leaving them at the same time
burthened with all the charges and expenses, as well as inconveniencies,
of regulation, often ill suited to their local situation under
the jurisdiction of the corporation aforesaid; and as it appears
evidently just, equitable and necessary, that such unequal condition
of burthen, without reciprocal benefits, should be relieved, |
Rogers's Addition
to be separated
from body of city,
&c.
Provisos. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the mayor and city council of Baltimore be and they are hereby authorised
and empowered, to separate, in whole or in part, for a
term of years, or without limitation, the said Rogers's Addition
from the body of the city of Baltimore, and to discharge the holders
of lots therein from all taxes, dues and levies, laid, or to be laid,
and from the operation of all ordinances, acts and by-laws, of the
corporation thereof; Provided, that any such term of years extend
to the time of erecting lamps, furnishing a watch, and the common
benefits of the city institutions; And provided further, that no
exemption
be granted from the regulations of the corporation aforesaid
respecting lotteries, billiard-tables, and other gaming establishments,
theatrical and like exhibitions, by any act or ordinance
for the purpose herein specified. |

therein mentioned.
Lib. TH. No. 1, fol. 42. |

WHEREAS Benjamin Buckingham, of Baltimore county,
by his
petition to this general assembly hath set forth, that he is now upwards
of sixty years of age, having a wife and seven children, three
of whom are dumb, the eldest named Emma, of the age of fourteen
years, is an idiot; that he has been for some time past supported by
his neighbours, and being unable to support himself and family, he
therefore prays that a law may pass, authorising the levy court of
Baltimore county to levy a sum of money on the assessable property
of said county for the support of his said daughter named Emma;
and the same appearing reasonable; therefore, |
Levy authorised
for support of
Emma Buckingham. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the levy court of Baltimore county shall be and are hereby directed
and empowered, at their levy court annually, so long as they may

property of said county, not exceeding thirty dollars, for the support
and maintenance of the said Emma, and that the same be collected
and paid annually to Benjamin Buckingham by the collector
of Baltimore county, for the use, support and maintenance, of the
said Emma, agreeable to the order of the levy court aforesaid. |
