Description
An Act to allow for the construction and to outline the maintenance of a Canal from Montreal to Lachine in the event that the Company of Proprietors authorised to do so under a 1819 Act, "An Act for making and maintaining a Navigable Canal from the neighbourhood of the City of Montreal to the Parish of Lachine, in the Island and County of Montreal" fail to fulfill the terms of that Act. The terms by which the Canal's construction is to be completed, and the funds to be appropriated for that cause are described. The Act also repeals an Act from 1815, “An Act to grant an aid to His Majesty, to assist in opening a Canal from the neighbourhood of Montreal to Lachine, and further to provide for facilitating the same.”
