In September, 1925, I caused a Circular to be issued to all local authorities calling attention to the provisions of the Roads Improvement Act, 1925, regarding the freeing of toll roads and bridges. In many districts the matter is engaging the close attention of the local authorities, with whom the initiative must rest, and who are in consultation with officers of my Department. In a few cases the proposals for freeing existing bridges are now assuming a definite shape, and in other instances the erection of a new toll-free bridge is in contemplation.
