WHEREAS, Robert Annett, of the township of Hackensack, in the county of Bergen, in this State, by his petition, hath represented that he is the owner of lands, situate at Fort Lee, in the township aforesaid, on the Hudson river, and that he hath built, at great expense, two wharves, one about thirty and the other about sixty-six feet in width, with an intervening basin of about eighty feet wide, upon and in front of his said lands, and that said wharves extend into the Hudson river a little below low water, mark; and that the same are used by steam and other boats as landing places; And whereas, he hath also represented that by reason of the shallowness of the water at the eastern termini of said wharves, the landing of said boats, particularly those of the larger class, is often rendered difficult, and attended with delay; and to remove these inconveniences he is desirous to extend said wharves one hundred feet further than they now are into the Hudson river, and that the same can be done without hindering, or in any manner obstructing or interfering with the free navigation of said river; but that such extension cannot be made without a large expenditure of money and labor, and that he is unwilling to incur the same without an act of the legislature confirming to him the right to erect said wharves upon and in front of his said lands, as the same now are; and also granting to him the right to extend the same one hundred feet further into the Hudson river, or any distance within the said one hundred feet, as he may think proper, and said application being reasonable; THEREFORE,
