Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contributions of the Old Residents' Historical Association, Lowell, Mass, Vol. 4: Organized December 21, 1868
The toll for a foot passenger was from two-thirds of a penny to one cent and five mills. It is not easy now to imagine how they made change at these rates. I remember when half cents were in circulation; but they were so scarce that they readily passed for whole cents, and perhaps that explains how the toll became two cents, as it was when I first passed over the bridge.
