Summary
The article discusses the use of lotteries, in general, in Colonial America and, in particular, to pave the roads within the city. Corporations had been used to finance the roads into Lancaster, such as the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike Road Co. which was responsible for the road coming from the east and the Susquehanna Turnpike Company which was responsible for the road from Lancaster to Columbia.
