etitioners for laying out the said turnpike road for a public highway, whenever the said committee shall receive satisfactory assurances that the compensation or damages to be allowed by said commissioners will not be less than $75.00 on each share. The county commissioners declined to take action upon the above petition. At a meeting held April 10 1843, it was voted to pay L. Spaulding for work done on the turnpike for the year ensuing $1.25 per day for April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November, and $1.00 per day for December, January and March, and $100 per day for horse and cart for the year. Also to pay fifty dollars per quarter for tending the toll gate.

It was built upon a granite base fifteen feet square. A pedestal of twenty feet was paneled with two Roman arches in each side, and capped with brown stone. Each side of the tapering shaft was reinforced with two diagonal buttresses, and the top was elaborately designed and ornamented with quatrefoils of brown stone. It

For Cradock to have known of it (no cable or wirless or airships in those days) its construction must have been an accomplished fact when Endicott wrote to Cradock in September of 1628. The question naturally arises, where was our bark built in the colony? and another, was it the governor's bark? Note that the time of writing, February 16, 1628-9, which was (the twelfth month of 1628) before Winthrop's election as his successor and before Winthrop's departure for New England. We have no account of any ship-building at Salem, none at Dorchester or Nantasket at that early time, and ask, where then but at Medford where the Spragues found Cradock's men establishe
