COLLECTION OF TOLLS
Information From Overseas
“We are fully aware that we have to have the simplest scheme possible to collect tolls and to avoid hold-ups to traffic.” Mr W. S. Mac Gibbon. chairman of the Christchurch-Lyttelton Road Tunnel Authority, told the council of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce last evening. The authority was making inquiries from the Auckland Harbour Bridge Authority and overseas, he added. The transport committee had reported that although the tunnel would not be completed for nearly three years, it felt it was not too early to consider the methods to be used in collecting tolls. It recommended the chamber to write to the Auckland and Sydney Harbcur Bridge Authorities for their systems of collecting tolls from commercial traffic. "It now looks as though we may have three bodies collecting dues—the Railyways, the Harbour Board and the Tunnel Authority.” said Mr R. H. Clark. “A hopeful thought is that two or three of the bodies might combine and find a way of collecting the dues for the lot.”
