more than roads built entirely by pri-
vate capital. Reasonable" profits on
roads of the former class cannot be
measured by per centage on their cost,
because their cost was betrayed in a
great degree, if not entirely, out Of the
public fund. It cannot be measured
by the capital, because that is largely
fictitious. The limit of their right to
take toll must be fixed by general re-
view of all the circumstances of the
roads and the history Of their construc-

that in coming to determination on
this point the share which the public
took in building them shall be fully
