TOLL-GATES.
SOME NEW INSTALLATIONS. Although viewed in the majority of instances with extreme disfavour, the tollgate apparently still serves somo sort of a useful purpose in the North Island, and is now even in increasing demand. Ono of these alleged anachronistic institutions draws' ,£IOOO per annum on tho Hawera-Manaia Road, others arc scattered about the same district. One has been introduced to Ohakuive, where it recently caused much grievous thought to a circus proprietor, and now it is proposed (writes our travelling correspondent) to instal another near Kahotu, in Taranaki. Toll-gales are supposed to bo the means of introducing good metalled roads, but the reverse is tho case at Ohakune, where the thoroughfare between tho railway station and the town is now even worse than it was in the corduroy stage.
