Description: Arrangement of printed and handwritten text on blue ticket. A border of looped lines runs down the left hand side. The ticket is signed by William Gill, first gate keeper at the Kai Warra Toll Bar. The first toll gate was established at Kaiwharawhara in 1863, and remained there until 1890 (See Onslow historian, volume 10, number 2 (1980), pages 13-21). The ticket is for sixpence (6d). A horse, saddled or harnessed, would have cost sixpence to get through the toll gate. A mule or an ass would also have cost sixpence if saddled or harnessed. For a full set of the toll charges, see the Onslow historian article above, page 13. The toll gate was installed in 1863, and was unpopular; see http://www.wcl.govt.nz/heritage/onslowboroughcouncil.html, where the following statement appears: "One of the main reasons these areas lobbied to break away and create the new Onslow Borough was the resentment many residents felt towards a toll-gate which had been established by the Hutt County Council on the Hutt Road at Kaiwharawhara. This imposed a toll of 1 shilling on all vehicular traffic entering or leaving Wellington (the equivalent of a charge of about $5 today) with saddled horses being charged half that rate. This was a major revenue stream for the Hutt County [after 1876] but much of this money was spent on distant road improvements that provided no benefit to those living closer to Wellington".
