Summary
A Massachusetts joint select committee examined a petition from James Hall and others to build tide mills on a tract of land in Boston, but the Boston and Roxbury Mill Corporation in 1814 had been granted a similar privilege in the vicinity which would hinder the present petitioners. The Boston and 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. The Committee advised the Legislature to consider better wording in future bills of that type.
Note
