Section 3. After receiving notice of the ratification and adoption of said agreement by the Legislature of the State New York, the Governor of this Commonwealth is hereby authorized and required, in concurrence with the Governor of the State of New York, to communicate to the Congress of the United States the action of the two States in relation to said boundary, and to request the approval and confirmation by the said Congress of the agreement so entered into by the said two States, and upon such approval, the above-stated agreement shall become binding and operative, and the said boundary line between this Commonwealth and the State of New York shall be fixed and established, as specified and provided for in the said agreement.
APPROVED: The 6th day of June, A. D. 1887. But in approving this bill I call attention to the omission after the word "council," in the fifteenth line of the 4th page thereof, of the following words: "of said Commonwealth, in pursuance of an act of the General Assembly of said Commonwealth, entitled "An act to authorize and enable the Supreme Executive Council." This omission--the evident result of carelessness in the preparation of the bill--is not deemed sufficiently material to require the disapproval of the bill, especially in view of the fact that the contract recited was ratified by the State of New York a year ago, and should be submitted for the approval of Congress at its next sessions.
