Fifty years ago Winchester marked the end of tolls when the Valley Turnpike and other gates were removed at midnight August 31 1918. The move, sponsored by Senator Harry F Byrd, followed a veto by Governor Westmoreland Davis but legislative override. The 92 mile route from Winchester to Staunton had charged 25 cents per gate, yielding $4 75 in tolls. The state gained most roadbeds free of charge and 40 percent of cash on hand while stockholders shared the rest.
