The Berlin authorities have made a grant to the hauliers of £80,000 which is expected to cover the extra tolls for the next fortnight. The three western powers have protested to the Russians over the Berlin road tax increases which range from 100 to eleven hundred per cent and came into force at midnight on Thursday, on the hundred mile East German highway linking Berlin and West Germany.
