“Be it further enacted, That whenever it may be necessary to form heavy embankments, piers, or moles, at the mouths of creeks, or along the river shore, for basins and other purposes, and the president and directors may deem it expedient to give a greater strength to the same, by widening them, and constructing them of the most solid materials, the ground so formed for such useful purpose may by them, when so improved, be sold out, or let for terms of years, as they may deem most expedient for the company, on such conditions as may direct the application of the proceeds thereof to useful purposes, and at the same time repay the necessary expense of the formation of such embankments, piers, or moles: Provided, That this power shall in no case be exercised as to injure the navigation of the canal.

“This act shall be in force so far as relates to the eastern section of the canal, on its receiving the assent of the Legislature of Maryland, and of the Congress of the United States; and shall be valid as relates to both sections, on its receiving the further assent of the Legislature of Pennsylvania.”
