CHAPTER LV.

An Act to Authorize William M'Clellan, of the County of Rockingham, to Extend 
a Mill Dam Across Mayo River.

Whereas, it is represented to this General Assembly, That allowing William 
M'Clellan to extend a mill dam across the Mayo river, would be attended with 
great advantage to the inhabitants of that county; and it appearing that the 
lands on each side of the river where the said mill dam is to be extended, 
belong to the said William M'Clellan:

I. Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North 
Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the said 
William M'Clellan, or his assigns, shall have full power and authority, and 
they or either of them have full power and authority to extend the dam already 
erected across the said river to the opposite bank: Provided nevertheless, 
That the said William M'Clellan do erect a slope of ten feet wide in the 
deepest part of said river, to be kept open from the twentieth day of February 
to the last day of April in each year, under the penalty of twenty pounds for 
each year he may neglect or refuse to keep the said slope in good order for 
the passage of fish, one half to the use of the informer, and the other half 
to the use of the county.
