The land, located east of the South Fork of the Licking River near the mouth of Gray\u2019s Run, had already been surveyed into half-acre lots with streets and alleys. The Act officially recognized the town and placed its development under the authority of appointed trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The trustees were empowered to sell the remaining town lots and were required to give <strong>three months\u2019 public notice in <\/strong><em><strong>The Kentucky Gazette<\/strong><\/em> before any sale. They were also authorized to resolve boundary disputes, regulate building standards, and issue deeds to purchasers. Buyers were obligated to construct a house of specified size within four years, and lots not improved within that time could be reclaimed and resold. The trustees were further permitted to alter the town\u2019s layout as needed, while honoring contracts made prior to the Act\u2019s passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Act protected existing property and contractual rights by allowing individuals with superior legal or equitable claims to seek recovery of proceeds from lot sales. It also ensured continuity in town governance by allowing trustees to fill vacancies, and declared that all provisions of the Act would take effect immediately upon passage.
