STATE OF MAINE.
 
In the year of our Lord 1834.

An act to incorporate the town of Cambridge.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
Legislature assembled: That all that part of the town of Ripley
in the County of Somerset which lies Northerly and Westerly of
the following described line, to wit: A line drawn through the
channel of Mainstream, so called, constituting the head waters
of the Sebasticook river and extending along the channel of said
stream from the West to the East line of the said town of Ripley
and at the distance of one third part of the width of said stream
from the Northerly bank thereof, with the inhabitants thereof be
and hereby is set off from said town of Ripley and incorporated
into a town by the name of Cambridge, with all the rights and
privileges which the towns in this State enjoy.

The remaining sections of the act relate to an adjustment of
the finances, school funds, etc., with the town of Ripley.

Act signed by Rob't P. Dunlap, Gov. Feb. 8, 1834

The provision in the first section in regard to the line which
passes one third of the distance from the North bank of the
stream, was, included because Ripley, being the bigger town,
could better bear the expense of maintaining the bridges than
could Cambridge.
