 law  to  be charged and received for the passage of a vehicle drawn over
 such road or bridge by two animals, provided that for such  motor  vehi-
 cles  designed  to  carry  only  two persons the rate of toll charged or

 bridge, without a load, by a single animal.
   2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE  CONTRARY,  NO  PERSON,
 CORPORATION,  PUBLIC  AUTHORITY, MUNICIPALITY, THE STATE, NOR ANY AGENCY
