Connecticut Orders Windham to Maintain Infrastructure

In 1774, the Assembly orders Windham to build and maintain a bridge across the Shetucket upon a road lately laid out to New Hampshire, to accommodate the travel to the new college in Hanover. The selectmen of Windham are now required, "To provide suitable louses for the poor, and persons to take care of them, rates for the same to be paid in provisions."
