Is a municipality entitled to lease the tolls?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kingston and Bath Road Co. v. Campbell, 1891 CanLII 18 (ON CA):
I refer also to Corporation of Ancaster v. Durrand, 32 C.P. 563, affirmed on Appeal, 12th of September, 1888, (not reported). There is no statute or other law that I am aware of, which makes the power to lease the tolls inherent in a municipality where it would not be equally inherent in any other owner of the tolls.
