The Montezuma Turnpike and Bridge Co. was incorporated on March 13, 1815 funded by the sale of 2000 shares of stock at $50 per share. Amendments and legislation in 1817,1824 and 1826 made stage line owners responsible for "furious driving" (probably the forerunner to DWI laws after automobiles came into being) and in 1835, the state legislature repealed the 1815 act of incorporation and the company ceased to exist.Beth Hoadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060278883118319195.post-30039214911613272772010-04-19T12:05:30.632-04:002010-04-19T12:05:30.632-04:00Neat history--looking forward to reading Part II.
