Of these lengths,
2 miles 1 furlong 198 yards, are repaired by the parishes, and 6 furlongs 198
yards -by the county. There are 26 toll-gates and 7 side-bars, but the existing
Act specifics the number of tolls which
may be taken on the several portions, and for passing over the whole of the
roads limits the number of payments to six full tolls; the full rates of toll
are not taken, except for two-wheeled carriages affixed, for oxen, &c., and
for sheep, &c., the rates levied being in general two-thirds, and on horses,
&c, not drawing, one half, the amounts authorized. There are no weighing machines.
The
mortgage debt in 1839 was Ł19,485, some portion of which was due to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, and
appears to have been paid off by annual instalments until 1840, by which time
the debt had been reduced to Ł16.485, and it remained at that amount until
1854, since this latter date an addition of Ł3,278. 17s. 6d. has been
made, the consent of the Secretary of State being obtained for Ł2,478 17s. 6d
of this amount.
With
reference to the above sum being added, under the sanction of the Secretary of
State, to the debt of a Trust, already so heavily burdened, it may be stated
that, at the time of the passing of the
Act, the 12th and 13th of Victoria, cap. 87-, containing the clause restricting the Trustees of turnpike roads
from borrowing money without the previous consent of the Secretary of
State, the Trustees of these roads were in the midst of making a new
road,—authorized by their Local Act, but the formation of which had been postponed from several causes,—and had
incurred liabilities which if not sanctioned would have involved the
Trustees in great embarrassment; the difference between these two amounts, Ł800, appears to have been borrowed
by the Trustees in 1854 but previous to the passing of the above-named
Act. Of these debts, thus recently incurred, the sum of Ł500 has been
paid off. Interest on the whole debt has been charged at Ł5 per
cent., but the Trust revenues have not been equal to the payment of the full
amount, and the arrears at the end of the
year 1864 had accumulated to the sum of Ł17.025 13s. 11d. except as to a
sum of Ł1500, on which no arrears are due.
The
accounts show that the toll receipts fell off in 1842 and 1848, in which years
the Trustees were unable to let the tolls for what they considered a fair
price, and therefore kept them in hand;
in 1854, and following years, the receipts were increased, owing to a reduction
in the rates of toll, the opening of
the new road, and greater competition ;—parish aid has been contributed since
1856, at first under orders from the Justices,
then voluntarily until 1864, when
some of the parishes refused until orders
had been obtained;—the money borrowed has been explained above;—under
the head of incidental receipts, in 1854 to 1856, were entered sums, amounting
in the whole to Ł310, contributed by three parishes towards the completion of
the new road from Frogmore to Torcross. The funds have been expended, in
repairing the road (at increased cost in late years, it being necessary to put
on more materials than formerly);—salaries (Ł121
10s. per annum);—law charges (of large amount in 1357 occasioned
by an appeal to the Quarter Sessions to obtain aid from the
parishes; the sums in 1856, 1858 to 1861, were also principally incurred
in obtaining parish aid);—interest of debt;—improvements;—portions of the
principal (since 1856, a total sum of Ł2,135 12s. 0d. has been paid off
by Ł1.264 10s.;—in 1859, Ł179. 10s. was accepted in discharge of Ł400);—and
incidentals.
Anticipating
the expiration of their Local Act, the Trustees, by their clerk, inquired in
1863 whether sanction would be given to an application to Parliament to
authorize the borrowing of such a sum of money as would enable them to pay off
the present creditors at the rate of Ł50 for every Ł100 of their principal, all
the back interest being given up; to this it was stated in reply that Sir
George Grey could not express his approval of the terms upon which the Trustees
proposed to apply for a renewal of the Act, especially as there might be a
difficulty in borrowing money at such a low rate of interest as would probably
be fixed.
