sioners on Beall Street in the town of Cumberland, and run-
ning from thence to the lime-stone spring on the bank of the riv-
er Potomac, and continuing as near the river bank as the na-
ture of the ground will admit of, until it intersects the Cresaps-
burgh road near Valentine Hoffman's old dwelling; and the
said road when so laid out and made passable for wagons and
other carriages &c. a plat thereof made out and returned to the
clerk of Alleghany county court, shall forever be deemed a

the owner.
8. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the said commission-
ers, or a majority of them, shall ascertain and value what

made public as aforesaid, to the person or persons entitled to
receive the same, before they or a majority of them shall pro-
ceed to condemn the said land.
