Extracts from the minutes of the fourth sitting of the
second general assembly of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
Aug.9
The interruption occasioned by the passing and repassing of
waggons and other carriages along Chestnut-Street in front
of the statehouse, together with the noise of drums beating,
during the sitting of the hon. congress and the council of
this state, being found very inconvenient, and occasioning
great delays, therefore, Upon motion, resolved, that it be
recommended to the supreme executive council of this state
to order a sufficient rope or chain to be stretched across
the said street, at the upper and lower end of the
statehouse square, and expressly forbid the beating of drums
near the statehouse, during the hours that either of the
public bodies aforesaid are sitting for the despatch of
public business.
