XXX. And be it enacted, That in all Cases where it shall appear to the said Commissioners that any River or Part of a River may be made navigable or the Navigation thereof improved in connexion with Drainage under the Provisions of the said first-recited Act or this Act, and the said Commissioners shall receive such Memorial as in said first-recited Act provided, and shall receive the Assents of the Proprietors of any Portion exceeding One Half in Extent of the Land proposed to be drained or improved in connexion with the Navigation of any such River, and if they shall so deem fit, and find that the Advantages to be derived from any such Navigation would be commensurate with the Costs of the Works necessary for making such Navigation, or improving the same, and if the said Commissioners can obtain, on the Security of the Tolls and Rates to be levied in respect of such Navigation, a Loan or Advance of Money for defraying the Costs and Expenses of making or improving the same, it shall and may be lawful for said Commissioners to make any such River navigable, or improve the Navigation thereof, either without the Costs of such Works being secured by any Presentment of a Grand Jury, or by any Guarantee to be given by any Party, Person, or Company, as in the said first-recited Act required, or without, requiring more than a Portion of such Costs to be so secured; and that all the Powers, Authorities, and Provisions in the said first-recited Act contained or given for or relating to the making or improving of any Navigation, or the levying or collecting or enforcing any Tolls or Rates on or in respect of the same, or to any other Matter or Thing whatsoever connected with such Navigation, or such Tolls or Rates, under the said first-recited Act or this Act, shall be held, construed, deemed, and taken to apply and extend to any such Navigation to be made or improved under this Act, or to any Tolls or Rates in respect thereof, or other Matters or Things whatsoever connected therewith.
