“« GENERAL TURNPIKE CONCERN. 
1. “AT a meeting of the truftees of the Mcfyn turnpike, 
held at the houfe of ofeph Roberts, at the Blue Beil, on Saturday, 
Fuly 30, 1791, the ftate of the roads was taken into con- 
fideration: 
2. “ WHEN it appeared, that parts of the coal-road were 
greatly out of repair; the trade in which was the original foun- 
dation of this turnpike. 
3. “ Tuat the prefent annual tolls are very inadequate te 
remedy the evil. 
4. “© Tuart the failure of the tolls does not arife from any 
decay of trade in the country, but from the exemption granted 
by parliament, by the 25th Geo. HII. c. 57, to the mail-coaches 
from the payment of any tolls. 
5. “ Tat, by fuch exemption, the common ftage-coaches 
have been obliged to defift from travelling, by reafon of the 
burthen they are fingly to fuftain, and which the mail-coaches 
are freed from, and now in many places monopolize the 
bufinefs. 
6. * Tuat the Mofyn diftri& alone fuffers a lofs of 40/. a 
year, which is the intereft of 800/. the lofs of which prevents 
the truftees from the repairing of road equal to the expenditure 
of fuch a fum. 
7. “© Tuat the claufe of exemption in favor of the mail- 
coaches
