SIZED them that point Another difficulty is stated
@hch iste tolls the two great roads leading TO the
village. Now is not doubted but the staemen Of few
facts illustrating the matter, will induce both branches Of
The Legislature to pass the bill without any trammes.

when Charters granted TO the Turnpike Companies
lid Gas should have been done the citizens
he right of going free of expense, TO and from elections
consequently aboat 100 residing in the village of
Branywine have paid ts since the gates
ed when they went to ectonsand yet would that
for the petuniary welfare Of the ctzens who live without
the gates, than great majority of those citizens do for
themselves that they wish to attach to the bill prov sion
making it necessary that the Turnpike Companies should
consent for the people go free of tolls days of cleo
hons when the people themselves large majority of
them, do not ask that favor the convenience of the viii
age to the voters generally overbaces any consideration
OF olsas is clearly shown BY the petitions But it really
Seems strange that the villagers pay tolls without their
Consent going 10 and ION elections, and that the other
citizens, will not be permitted to pay tolls, going to and
from elections although they choose to do so for Their
" accommodation.
