§ 1. All persons who shall become stockholders pursuant to this act, are hereby constituted a body corporate, by the name of the Schaghticoke and Lansingburgh Turnpike Road Company.
§ 2. The corporation hereby created shall possess the general powers and privileges and be subject to the general liabilities of turnpike incorporations, as prescribed in the eighteenth Chapter of the first Part of the Revised Statutes, except so far as the same shall be altered by this act.
§ 3. The capital stock of said corporation shall be twelve capital thousand dollars, and be divided into four hundred and eighty shares of twenty-five dollars each.
§4. Amos Briggs, Nicholas M. Masters, Lewis Buffitt, Henry Holmes, Henry N. Miller, John Holmes, William Knickerbacker and Job Pierson, shall be commissioners to open books and receive subscriptions.
§ 5. The said corporation may construct a turnpike road beginning near the dwelling house of Frederick S. Cole, in Schaghticoke, in the county of Rensselaer; thence to or near the mouth of the Deepay Kill creek; thence to some suitable place in the village of Lansingburgh.
§ 6. The said road may be constructed of such materials as the ground over which it passes may afford, and the said corporation shall not be required to have the road laid out of a greater width than sixty feet, nor to make the arch or bed thereof more than twenty feet in width; and where the steepness of the sidehills, rocks or other obstacles renders it impracticable, or unnecessary, in the opinion of the commissioners, to complete it of that width, it shall be lawful for said company to make and complete it of such less width, and without a ditch on the lower side, as the commissioners shall direct; but in no place however shall the bed of said road be made of less width that [sic] fifteen feet.
§ 7. When the said road shall have been completed in the manner before mentioned, the said corporation may erect thereon one toll-gate, at such place as a majority of the directors may designate, and receive at such gate the following rates of toll, to wit: For every wagon, cart or other wheel carriage drawn by two horses or other beasts, six cents, and for every additional horse or other beast attached to the team, two cents; for every wagon, cart or other carriage drawn by one horse or other beast, four cents, and for every additional horse or other beast attached to the team, two cents; for every sleigh or sled drawn by two horses or other beasts, four cents, and for every additional beast attached to the team, two cents; for every sleigh or sled drawn by one horse or other beast, three cents, and for every additional horse or other beast attached thereto, two cents; for every horse and rider, two cents; for a single horse or other beast led or driven, two cents; for every score of horses, mules or cattle, ten cents; for every score . sheep or swine, five cents, and in the same proportion for any greater or less number; provided no gate shall be erected on said turn-pike south of Union bridge; but it shall not be lawful for the said company to erect such toll-gate south of the north line of the toll-house in the village of Lansingburgh, belonging to the Union Bridge Company.
§ 8. The legislature may at any time alter or amend this act.
