Early 19th Century Lighthouse Bill and Hempen Tax Rebate
A U S Congress act authorizes the Treasury Secretary to fund three lighthouses at Rac Point, Point Gammon, and Petive Manon near Navages River, with salaries and land purchases, plus extinguishment powers for Scitware lighthouse. An $8000 appropriation is provided. Also a relief act refunds William Hamon $184.03 for duties on 36 boxes of white sugar imported in 1805. Both acts bear signatures of James Madison and H Clay with dates in 1816.
