## 取替一札の事(交換証書)
去る天保5年(1834年)午年4月、町方が焼失した際、非常時の延焼防止と町幅を広げて見通しを良くするようにとのご命令が下りましたので、町人一同は町幅を広げて家を建て直しました。ところが、有賀治右衛門の土蔵2か所については、町並みに合わせて切り縮めるべきところ、控え屋敷(隣接地)が多くあったため、工事が次第に延引となっておりました。
そうしたところ、今年(嘉永4年・1851年)4月に、「先年の焼失の際に焼けなかった土蔵で、以前から往来に出張(突き出て)いたものについては、そのまま普請(建築・修繕)しても差し支えない」とのお達しが出され、一同謹んで承知いたしました。
しかしながら、新町の有賀治右衛門の土蔵・7間2寸の場所が町並みに出張っている部分について、そのまま放置しておいては家並みの見通しが悪く、将来的に町内衰微の原因にもなりかねないと、町役人の方々へ嘆願を申し立て、話し合いを重ねてまいりました。ところが、(有賀治右衛門側は)たびたび難渋(困難)を申し立てるほどの正当な理由も見受けられず、

## Certificate of Mutual Exchange (Agreement Document)
During the fire that destroyed part of the town in the fourth month of Tenpō 5 (1834), the Year of the Horse, an order was issued to widen the streets and improve sightlines as a precaution against the spread of fire. Accordingly, all townspeople widened the street frontages and rebuilt their homes. However, regarding the two storehouses (dozō) of Ariga Jirōemon, which should have been cut back to align with the new street frontage, construction was repeatedly delayed due to the presence of adjacent reserve land (hikae-yashiki).
Then, in the fourth month of this year (Kaei 4, 1851), a directive was issued stating that storehouses which had not burned in the previous fire and which had already been protruding into the street could be rebuilt as-is without any problem. All parties humbly accepted this directive.
However, with regard to the section of Ariga Jirōemon's storehouse in Shinmachi that protrudes into the street alignment by a span of 7 ken and 2 sun, leaving it as it is would result in poor sightlines along the row of buildings, and could well become a cause of decline for the neighborhood in the future. The town officials (machiyakunin) submitted a petition and engaged in repeated discussions on the matter. However, Ariga's side repeatedly raised objections, yet no legitimate grounds for such objections were apparent,
