The Company accordingly agreed with the Vestry to pay 109. per superficial
yard for so much of the paving in Hackney Road as would have to
be laid by the Company when putting down their trams, if the road had
been a Macadamized road. It was also provided that the surplus material
of all. Macadamized roads shall belong to the Vestry, and that whenever
a tramway is laid in any road not exceeding 28 ft. in width between the
curbs, the Tramway Company shall pave the whole width of the carriageway,
and not merely pave between the rails and 18 inches beyond, as
provided for other roads.
The Committee of the House of Commons reported that the preamble
of the North-Eastern Metropolitan Tramways Bill had not been proved,
and that the preamble of the North-East of London and Columbia Market
Approaches Bill, so far as it related to the tramways, had not been
proved. So much of that Bill was passed as will enable the promoters to
effect the widening of Birdcage Walk, and to form the new street continuing
Brick Lano to Columbia Market; and also to construct a
tramway from the goods depot of the Great Eastern Railway Company
to Columbia Market. The Bill of the North Metropolitan Tramways
Company was passed with certain modifications, one of which was
rejecting the proposal to lay down tramways in Prospect Place.
COAL-OWNERS' ASSOCIATED LONDON RAILWAY.
Arrangements were made with the promoters for the insertion in the
Bill of clauses providing for Iron Girder Bridges, in lieu of the existing
Bridges over the Canal in Old Ford Road and Grove Road, and for the
protection of the interests of the Parish, in other respects. The Bill was
strongly opposed, and was before the Special Committee of the House of
Commons more than a fortnight. The Committee reported the preamble
not proved.
