Taranaki is one of the few district* where toll gates survive the demand for the open road and the free highway for all. The charge for a. car is 5s 6d. In some cases these pass through in hundreds daily. The trip round the mountain costs 7s 6d, as there are three tollgates on the route. The direct relief to the rates is considerable.
