Joint Select Comm. on Construction of a Mill Dam. Report, 1832
|
|
House No. 51 A Joint Select Committee on Construction of a Mill Dam examined a petition to build a tidal dam, but the Boston & Roxbury Mill
Corporation in 1814 had been granted a similar privilege in the vicinity which would hinder the present petitioners. The Boston & Roxbury Mill dam was
supposed to have been built in three years; it was eighteen years later with no dam. However, the language in the bill about the project meant the
Legislature had to specifically pressure the corporation to give up its right to build. Until that happened, the petitioners had leave to withdraw their
request. The Committee advised the Legislature to consider better wording in future bills of that type. There was mention of an order, but it was not
printed. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
