THE Law IN RELATION TOTo,yN
PLATS.

Some half dozen towns or more have grown
7g1 up to respectable size in this county, and
ai yet we believe that in no instance has the law
been complied with in relation to the laying
-" out oftowns; and until the legal requirements
are fulfilled, one man-has as much right as
sI another toany lot or piece of ground provd-
ed he has possession Of it; and even the
1o main street Of this city, 50 far as any. legal
prohibition exists is liable 70 be squatted on
i and held by right Of possession. This we
:. believe to be the law and in saying SO we
hope we do not tread on anybody's toes. for
aa it is becoming almost hazardous NOWADAYS
- to dip a pen in ink least It turn TO blood.
For the information Of those interested.
ddaand who have not had an opportunity Of
O reading the law, we copy it in full as passed
