Turnpikes.

| From on article on Turnpikes in recent
number of the Gettysburg Compiler we take
the following:
The first turnpike ever made in the United
States, OF which we have an account, was that
constructed between Philadelphia and Lam
caster in 1898, costing 100000. Another
account of similar corporation was IN 1877,
in the county of Philadelphia.
The Gettysburg and Petersburg lnew Lit
! tlestown) Turnpike was first talked OF IN 1907,
and constitution established April 9TH of that
year-through Littlestown to the Maryland
! line near Biddle's Mill-distance II miles.
The commissioners named in the Act were
James McSherry, John Shorb, Jacob Winrott,
James Gettys, Alexander Cobean and Henry
Hoke. The number of shares subscribed was
$50. The company was known by the name,
style and title Of "The Gettysburg and Peters
burg Turnpike Company.
The Sd day of August, 1908, an election
was held in the Courthouse, in Gettysburg,
when the following persons were elected by
the stockholders as officers of the company,
viz Alexander Cobean was elected Presl
dent, and Walter Smith, Ralph Lashelis, ia
cob Winrott, John Shorb, Wm. Hamilton
and Jacob Rider as Managers of said com
pany, and James Geltys was duly elected
Treasurer. The judges were John Edie aud
Andrew Shriver.
Samuel Sloan surveyed the road, at 81 per
day for services; this was in August, lsOs.
The road was viewed and located the same
year The shares were 500 each. The con
tract for grading the road was entered into
September Is, 1909. James Geuys contract
ed for the whole road and bridges, for the
sum of $50, 900, equal TO S4,5sS per mile.
Toll gates erected, August, 1909.
The extension from Gettysburg 10 the
mountain, 10 miles, was built in 1910. In
Nav, 1872, the President aud Managers of
the Gettysburg aud Petersburg Turnpike
Company declared dividend Of one and
one fourth per cent. on the capital stock OF
said company.

Warieldsburg is situated about four and
a-half miles from Westminster, half mile
north of Morgan's Valley, and three miles
south of New Windsor.
Contiguous to our village lies the farm OF
Mr. J. Shueey, located upon which are mines
of abundant wealth in lead, copper and mag
netic ore, so it is said. At any rate our com
munify will be considerably eulivened when
the air is resonant with the music of the
pick and shovel, as they unearth from hidden
recesses the mineral wealth. Let US hope
work will soon commence in these mines.

Barnes and Rein Cook will be pleased to
