At a meeting held Sept. 29, 1737, " Voted, That Messrs. Nathaniel Hammond, Samuel Hills and Charles Lumas be a committee to look out a way to the Intervale lots on the Great River, and also a way to the place where the saw mill is to be built (West Swanzey). The committee above named were requested to see that the roads are all cleared forthwith."
Dec. 28, 1738. " Voted, That the road to the saw-mill shall be four rods wide when it is cleared or near thereabout."
"Voted, That Messrs. Samuel Gunn, Thomas Cresson and Samuel Hills be a committee to treat with the proprietors of Upper Ashue- lot and of Arlington to lay out a highway through this township from Upper Ashuelot to Arlington where it shall be agreed upon by a com- mittee from each township ;" and also "To lay out a highway four rods wide in the most convenient place to Hyponecho meadows."
Oct. 9, 1739. "Voted, That William Scott, Nathaniel Hammond and Andrew Gardner be a committee to lay out a highway to Pond Brook."
"Voted, That there shall be a highway laid out from the road down to the saw-mill down to Winchester, and that Benjamin Brown, Wil- liam Grimes and John Evans be a committee to look out said high- way."
March 16, 1740. "Voted to choose two Surveyors of liey waies. Voted and chose Abraham Graves and Samuel Hills for Surveyors of hey waies."
Sept. 29, 1742. "Voted and chose Capt. Nathaniel Hammond, Thomas Cresson and John Evans for a committee to lay out a hey waiey to accommodate the meadow lots on the Ashuelot River, South Branch and Pond Brook ; mend the highways and bridges and secure the bridges what is necessary."
Highways were probably laid out and built, or cleared of trees,

somewhat in accordance with the foregoing votes. The town street extending from where Mr. Charles Worcester now lives to Sylvander Stone's was laid out 4 rods in width and built in accordance with the plan on that facing page 46, making an angle on Meeting-house hill just west of the residence of Mr. George Carpenter ; this was afterwards changed, the road being turned to the foot of the hill on the east nearly where it now is, and a part of it was made eight rods in width. That leading easterly to the South Branch intersected the main street at a point south of Zina Taft's, and extended easterly to the branch, crossing the stream, thence northerly through the meadows or at the easterly end of the meadow lots, to Keene, and southerly from the bridge to the intervale lots.
The road to Arlington doubtless struck off from the town street at the same point where it now turns off to West Swanzey, making four corners there and extended westerly and southiwesterly, bearing up over the hill by the Greenleaf place, and continuing on east of West Swanzey village to the Hyponecho meadows and Arlington. The road to the mill intersected this road somewhere on the hill. Our fathers were not so much afraid of hills as their descendants now are.
Early in the history of the town a road was built from the David Parsons' place on the north side of Mt. Cæsar to the settlement on the hill by the Greenleaf place, but this was discontinued in 1778. In 1770 a highway was laid out on the south side of Mt. Cæsar ex- tending from this same settlement on the hill to the town street where the brick church now stands, but probably was never built. In the same year a road was laid out from the south end of the town street where Sylvander Stone now lives to the north end of Swanzey pond, thence on the east side of the pond to its south end, thence westerly to Day hill, so called, where Marcus Bullard and Everett Holbrook now live. Parts of this road had been travelled many years before this layout. Leading from the present pond road by Charles Tal- bot's, north of his farm, there may now be seen two old roads with walls on either side leading towards the head of the pond ; the more northerly of these is supposed to be a part of that last described.
The Ash Swamp road, so called, was laid out in 1772, and that in the southi part of the town by C. H. Holbrook's, intersecting the Day hill road in 1778. The old road by Walter H. Perry's and the Curtis place to J. L. Starkey's was laid out in 1790, and the greater part of it was discontinued in 1839.
Between the years 1770 and 1785 not less than twenty-five roads were laid out by the selectmen.
204
HISTORY OF SWANZEY.
The following may serve as specimens of the old lay-outs as re- corded ; the first being a highway east of East Swanzey village, and discontinued many years ago ; the second being the road now lead- ing by C. H. Holbrook's.
"A road laid out beginning at the spring upon the line between Mr. Read's and Mr. Peck's then west upon said Read's to a beech tree ; then across a corner of said Peck's where it is now trod till it strikes Mr. Sherman's west where it is now trod to a red oak tree marked, west of the road leading from said Shermans to Mr. Thompson's north clearing ; west to a white pine tree marked, near said Thompson's line; thence west with said line and on said Thompsons to the old road."
"SWANZEY, APRIL 30, 1778.
This day laid out a road in the southwesterly part of Swanzey, viz. : Beginning at the line of Moses B. Williams' lot, and proceed- ing northerly between Josiah and Joshua Prime's lots; then through Wyat Gunn's and Joshua Fleming's lots ; then between James Hea- ton's lot and Amos Day's lot, out to the road leading to Benjamin Day's ; the road to be two rods wide on the east side of the marked trees.
CALVIN FRINK THOMAS HAMMOND Selectmen."
About the first lay-out described by courses and distances was in 1821.
There is no record of any road west of the river previous to 1770. The road from Chesterfield line by the Henry place to the intersection near Geo. O. Capron's was built in 1824; that from Tim Fitzgerald's north to Keene line in 1828.
That part of the highway from West Swanzey to Keene north of the intersection near Byron Porter's was built in 1833. Previous to that date the travel was by Sawyer's Crossing or by O. S. Eaton's. The "Rabbit Hollow" road, so called, was laid out in 1837. In 1838 the town voted to sell one rod in width on each side of the street through the middle of the town where it was 8 rods wide.
The "Branch Road and Bridge Corporation," or the old turnpike, as it was called, was chartered by the legislature in 1802 and built soon after. It is in the easterly part of the town by the side of the Cheshire railroad. Our older citizens remember the toll-gate by the bridge at the foot of Depot hill. Tolls were collected till 1842 when it was made a free road the town paying the corporation $2415.

HIGHWAY AND BRIDGES.
The tolls were as follows : Sheep and hogs, one-half cent each ; horses and cattle, one cent each ; every horse and rider, or lead horse, seven cents ; every sulky or chaise with one horse and two wheels, twelve and one-half cents ; every chaise, coach, stage, wagon, phaeton, with two horses and four wheels, twenty-five cents ; with four horses, thirty cents ; for every other carriage of pleasure, the like sum accord- ing to the number of wheels and horses drawing the same ; for each cart or carriage of burthen drawn by one beast, eight cents, for each wagon, cart or other carriage, or burthen, drawn by two beasts, twelve and one-half cents; if more than two beasts, seven and one- half cents for each additional pair of oxen or horses.
In 1846 the road commissioners laid the road from C. L. Lane's to the old turnpike by E. F. Lane's mill, giving a road nearly straight and level instead of the hilly and circuitous route previously travelled. Expense, including land damages, $1486.77.
In 1848 the selectmen, on petition of John Stratton, Oliver Capron and others laid out the "California" road, so called, extending from Michael Cantlin's, a little west of West Swanzey village, up the Cal- ifornia brook to Chesterfield line, a distance of 579 rods ; to be built when Chesterfield should lay out and build a road connecting with this and continuing up the valley intersecting with the Keene and Chesterfield highway.
During the following year, the town of Chesterfield, having taken no measures to build her part of the road the Court was petitioned to lay out the same which it did. Swanzey promptly built her part but Chesterfield, by building a substitute, was enabled to get her part discontinued, and it has never been built. The cost of the Swanzey part was $1254.75.
The road from G. F. Lane's to David Whitcomb's, called the "Wil- lis road" was laid by the commissioners in 1855, and subsequently built by the town at an expense, including land damages, of $1569.36. The highway from William Ballou's up Hyponecho brook towards Lombard's mill was built in 1859.
Swanzey has always had a large number of bridges to build and maintain. There are three over the Ashuelot and five over the South Branch, besides many others over smaller streams. The three on the Ashuelot and two on the South Branch are covered bridges ; that over the Branch by the town house is of iron. The first large bridges and those remembered by our older citizens were supported between the abutments by trestles.
The "Cresson" bridge by Sawyer's Crossing was built in 1771 ; the

town voting to raise for the purpose fifty-three pounds, six shillings and eight pence. The present bridge was built in 1859, costing $1735.94. The West Swanzey bridge was built in 1774, twenty-nine pounds and fourteen shillings being voted for the purpose. The cov- ered bridge was built in 1832 at an expense of $523.27, Zadoc Taft being the master workman. Repairs were made in 1859 costing $431.58, and again in 1888 on bridge and abutments to the amount of nearly $2000.
The records fail to tell us when the "Slate" bridge at Westport was first built. It was probably about the year 1800 or during the time of the missing records. In 1842 a section of this bridge, on which was Mr. William Wheelock and his team of four oxen fell into the river. The matter of damages was referred to Phinehas Handerson of Keene.
· The existing bridge was built in 1862 at an expense of $1850.64. The bridge over the branch by the "Causeway" was constructed in 1779, and that at East Swanzey in 1789, fifteen pounds being raised for the purpose. The Iron bridge, east of the town house, was built in 1877.
The laying out, building and repairing of highways has ever been a subject of much interest to the people, and one on which there has been great diversity of opinion, especially as to the public need of new roads, and the best way of repairing old ones. The common method of repairing has been for each person to work out his own tax under the direction of surveyors appointed by the selectmen or chosen by the town. The number of highway surveyors has varied at differ- ent times from one to twenty. The town was formerly divided into nineteen districts, and a surveyor appointed for each. The selectmen or town fixed the prices of labor for men and teams, and for the use of implements employed on the roads. In 1780 the town "Voted to Grant 4000 Pounds for making and Repairing Highways ; and to al- low Thirty Dollars pr. Day pr. man from the first of April until the first of October, and Twenty Dollars pr. Day the Remainder of the year." In 1781 "Voted to Raise 7000 Pounds for making and Repair- ing Highways the present Year, and the Labour at the Roads be stated at Forty Dollars pr. Day pr. man until the first of October, and at 30 Dollars pr. Day for the Remainder of the year."
