see record details
Date Summary Rec details
1452.11.24 Because there were more breaches in the dikes near the Carthusian monastery and on the east side of the city, the hoogheemraden believed it necessary for those having authority for hydraulic mattes there to join Rijnland in common cause to close the breaches. Therefore they requested that the dijkgraaf of Rijnland, Aelbrecht van Raephorst, with the aldermen (schepenen) of Diemen and the schout and of Amstelveen (collectively the predecessors to Amstelland water board) to attend a hearing planned for 15 January 1453 at Haarlem.

1453.01.15 Permission for Spaarnwoude, Hofambacht, and Houtrijk, because of their remote location and difficulty for others to get there, to close the waal at Houtrijk by themselves, without the others usually responsible for maintenance there. Sloten and Osdorp allowed the same for walen in their territories. They must not stop work until it is competed. Because it will be difficult for the poor to meet their obligations, the hoogheemraden have generously give 70 gulden (of 10 plaken-worth), half to go to Spaarnwoude, Hofambacht, and Houtrijk, and half to Sloten and Osdorp.

1430.01.13 Concerning the reconstruction of the Kerkendijk at Spaarnwoude. Had previously asked if anyone was willing to take on the task for a good financial reward., but no one came forward. Now, Jan Allertszoon, priest and vice curate at Spaarnwoude, with some friends, will take up the task of restoring a section of 15 roeden and 1 foot, for which the hoogheemraden agree to pay 7 nobels per roede. After thinking about it for 14 days and both secretly and publically trying to find others who might do it for less, the hoogheemraden now have agreed. Priest Jan and associates will rebuild the dike to proper specifications. The city of Haarlem offered advice and consent in this matter.
