From Ellis Peters's "Saint Peter's Fair" (page 12):
For three days, the three busiest of the year, when we might do well out of tolls on carts and pack-horses and man-loads passing through the town to reach the fair, we must levy no charges, neither murage nor pavage.
Murage -- a tax for repair of the town walls
Pavage -- a tax for paving of streets
