The Passing Of Toll Roads.
From the Chicago Post.


Toll roads are so repugnant to the
modern notion Of freedom of locomotion
that very few of them have persisted.
In most states they are curiosIties, but
not so in Pennsylvania. Twenty-one Of
the sixty-seven counties still have pri-
yate roads. These cover us miles, and
are owned by l01 different companies.
a toll road commission has been ap-
pointed to ascertain how cheaply these
can be turned into free highways. Most
Of them are III sparsely settled regions.
but for many years there We're toll roads
in the large cities. 1t was only short
time ago that Philadelphia bought up the
last of hers. BY an act of the Illinois
Legislature of 1874 the counties We're Civ
en- the power to authorize toll reads and
to regulate the charges. Such private
thoroughfares are forbidden within the
limits Of incorporated cities. These pro-
visions have rendered fairly unobjection-
able such roads. as may have survived in
Illinois. They are probably few in num-
ber.
