pontage การใช้

Further development of a set of taxes that could be raised by the towns, including murage for walls, pavage for streets or pontage, a temporary tax for the repair of bridges.
Pontage was similar in nature to murage ( a toll for the building of town walls ) and pavage ( a toll for paving streets and market places, or more rarely roads between towns ).
Using the large passing trade of Staines Bridge various ordinary people in the 15th century were bound to keep up the Causeway including Thomas Stanes, John Edmed, William Mulso in return for being given the right to levy tolls ( grants of pontage ).
Tolls were levied on goods passing through the town as pontage and pavage for the maintenance of the bridge and road; in 1282, for example, a ?" d " toll was levied per cartload, with goods destined for military use being exempt.
In 1826, John Fitzgerald, the wealthy owner of Castle Irwell House ( later to become the site of the Manchester Racecourse ), built, at his own expense, a suspension bridge across the River Irwell between Lower Broughton and Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales ( 1870 72 ) all users of the bridge were required to pay a pontage to cross.
