A Freeholder of Franklin County on Pennsylvanias Public Roads
A Franklin County freeholder attacks northern turnpike companies and Philadelphia dominance, arguing southern counties funded and benefited from public improvements. He cites subscriptions and state aid, contrasts regional contributions, urges fair distribution, and supports canals or railways to link Harrisburg to Chambersburg and the Potomac, with toll relief for Bed ford and Somerset.
