Indignation Meoting-Too Many Toll
erous complaint. against the action Of the Liberty
road turnpike company in erecting several new
tol-gates on that road. cAaeting high toll rates.
Ac. correspondent Of the Baltimore Sas writ
ing from Harrisonviic. I'd district. under date Of
Saturday last, shows that feeling il very strong
against the company. The writer says:
"a large meeting Of prominent farmers aLi
business men was held nj liarrisonyiiic to-day To
take action the erection of two toll. gates re-
Gently placed on the Baltimore and Liberty turn
pike road. Formerly in going towards Baltimore
city the first gate met with was Ut kandaIlstoxn n,
distant Eve miles from the terminus a; North
Branch, and about six miles further on east an
other gate ut the Three Mile liouse. About sx
weeks ago gate was placed midway between the
Randaiistown gate and North Branch, and one
week to-day q collector commenced TO take toll at
n gate situated oae-fourth Of mile from North
Branch. making in all three gates within Eve
miles Of road, whilst beyond Randallstown. as be-
fore mentioned, there il space Of six miles or
more between the gates. II is claimed that the
stock is paying good dividend, that the residents
along the road between North Branch and Ran
dallstown, Who are constant travellers over the
pike to Baltimore city. have repeatedly protested
against the high rates Of toll which they were
compelled 10 pay. and that the last Legislature
was importunei TO reduce the toll one hal! per
cent. per mile, they having 10 pay one and a-half
cents per mile. which was not granted. A com
mittee was appointed. consisting Of Mcs.rs. Saliva
present a petition 60 the president and board Of
directors of the turnpike company asking them to
remove the two new gates between North Branch
and Randallstown. II the company refuse their
request the residents propose 10 rasc the price Of
stone. TO the pike little as possible in going
TO the city, which can be done By leaving the pike
at Rockdale and using the Franklin road. and 20
support in future elections only men who are in
sympathy with them and who pledge themsc ives
TO do all in their power 10 reduce the tolls on the
baltimore aud Liberty turnpike road
