There are several citics and towns surrounded by coun-- ties owning county roads, and which impose tolls vpon them. It was claimed by the urban consti-- Inencies that it was unfair lgmt they should be (-omi;nllnd to have their streets ('?)un in common tor the farmer and citizens outside, with the citi-- zens inside.
