Title	Act to Authorize and Incorporate a Company to construct a Turnpike from Columbus to Sandusky City
Subject	Transportation Toll roads Roads
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio) Sandusky (Ohio) Erie County (Ohio)
Description	In 1833 the need for a road connecting Columbus and Sandusky prompted this act to "incorporate a company to construct a turnpike from Columbus to Sandusky City." In the nineteenth century, roads were generally financed by toll collection; the rates for this one being based upon traveling all or any segment of any ten-mile length. The route was to travel through Delaware and approximates what is today marked as State Routes 23 and 4. This document also lays out the method of selling stock in the venture, and such information as fines to be paid by those seeking to escape paying the tolls. As was the custom, tolls were not collected on "persons going or returning from public worship, on the Sabbath, and all militia men going to and from their respective muster grounds." The act is 11 pages and measures 4.5" x 7.5" (11.43 x 19.05 cm).
