An Act or Ordinance laying four pence per Cord on all wood laid on the common or Highway at Bryants landing belonging to any person living in Smith Town.

HUNTINGTON TOWN RECORDS.
Whereas the Common and Highway at Bryants landing in Huntington in Suffolk County is much covered with wood and on account of its hilly and unlevel situation as well as the contracteded and narrowness of the highway and common renders it impossible for many of the wood carters belonging to Huntington at many times to find suitable ground to lay their wood on And whereas the road and roads leading from said landing to the boarders of Smith Town have been found lately to be much out of repair, and much labour and expence has lately been done by the inhabitants of Huntington that use that road and landing and much more is necessary to be done in repair- ing the roads and levelling the hilly and uneven ground near the landing. And whereas a great proportion of the wood and other lumber usually brought to the said land- ing comes out of Smith Town the owners of which refuse to assist in repairing the roads and uneven ground at the landing. In order therefore to obtain some pecuniary assistance from the inhabitants of Smith Town who use the road and landing.
Be it enacted and ordained by the Trustees of the Free- holders and commonality of the Town of Huntington and it is hereby enacted and ordained by the authority of the same that each and every person or persons who during the continuance of this act or ordinance may have any cord wood or lumber laid on the highway or common at Bryants landing or within a quarter mile of the shore shall pay for the same at the rate of four pence per cord if cord wood, and if other lumber at the rate of two pence per waggon load to be paid at the time the wood or lumber is taken off, all which sum or sums as aforesaid shall be paid into the hands of the overseers of the highway called the cord wood road leading to Bryants landing, to be by him applied towards the repair of the said road and landing place at his discretion and in case any of the owners of
19I

the said wood or timber being an inhabitant of Smith Town, laid on the highway or common land within quarter of a mile of the shore of said landing shall neglect or refuse to pay for the same at the rate of four pence per cord for wood and at the rate of two pence per waggon load for lumber unto the overseers of the said highway upon demand at the time or after the same is taken off. The said overseer of the said highway is hereby authorized and impowered to sue for and recover the same before any one Justice of the peace of the County of Suffolk in an action of debt with costs of suit, who is hereby em- powered and required to hear and determine the same by the oath of one or more credible witness or witnesses.

[NOTE .- The period between the close of the war in 1783 and the beginning of the new century was marked by no ex- citing local events. The people here gladly resumed their ac- customed avocations and rapidly repaired the wastes of war, and they readily adapted themselves to the new machinery of Town, County, State and National government under the new order of things, and being one of the oldest towns of the State, Huntington exercised considerable influence in public affairs. By special provisions of the treaty of peace with Great Britain and by the first Constitution of the State, existing titles to land were confirmed, and grants of land made under the Colonial Government were ratified and confirmed, so that the title Huntington had acquired to its lands, above and below water, from Colonial Governors, were continued valid and ef- fectual. The new Federal Constitution was ratified by the States in 1788, George Washington was elected President the same year, re-elected in 1792, and declining a re-election in 1796, John Adams was chosen, and at the end of his term, 1800, Thomas Jefferson was elected President, and the capital was moved from Philadelphia to the city of Washington. The census taken this year shows the population of the United States to have been 5,308,483 .- C. R. S.]
