orator in him."

1EeHrlco Turnpfkes ana Hanover
Representatives.

To The Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch:
Last winter there was a petition numer-
ously signed by citizens of Henrco and Han
over counties asking the repeal of the char
ter OF the Brook Turnpike road on account of
the high rate Of tolls ON said road. That
petition was presented and urged by Mr..
Gardner, of Hanover, chiefly OH the ground
that the tolls were oppressive. The Brook
road Is six miles long. and it was proven in
committee that the tolls charged were au-
thorized by law, and the charter stands.
During the same session of the Lcgi>la-
ture there was a charter granted to the
Richmond and Henrico Turnpike Company
for ne,r road, running near the Meadow
bridge road, which shortened the distance
considerably to Edmund,'s gate. said road
Is about three miles long, and strange to
say, though nevertheless true, the average
tariff of tolls is as high or higher for that
three miles of new road than it is on the old
Brook for six miles. .sFilly cents for four
horse wagon, to 90 and return; forty cents
for Il three-horsc wagon or tor hack :;
twenty-five cents fora buggy fourteen cents
for u cart; and three cents per head for sheer
or coMe." The above is the list of tolls on
the new short road. and if our representatives
moved TO reduce the tolls or amend the bill
in any particular we are not aware Of it,
wi ill they please explain why they tried TO
kill the old Brook road, six miles long, on
account of high tolls, and at the same session
allowed higher tolls for Il new road ouly
about half the length of the Brook? 1t is a
notorious fact that the new company expect
to get the Henrico court to do away with
the Meadowbridge road as soon as the new
pike is completed, and then all this portion
of Hanover will be at the mercy of this new
company. We can only hope they will be
more liberal than our delegates were vigi-
liant. LOWER HANOVER.
