present Hammersmith and City Line over Wood Lane, and
terminating at a junction with the Great Western Railway at
Acton. The Board decided to petition against the Bill to
obtain protective clauses. The Board's clauses having been
inserted in the Bill, it was decided to withdraw the petition
against and present a petition in favour. The Bill subsequently
passed into a Law.
6.—London and South Western and District Railway (Kingston
and London Railway). This Bill does not in any way affect
any public property, it being simply a deviation of the authorised
line of Bridge over the Thames, the Board therefore
took no action therein.
7.—West Metropolitan Tramways' Bill. This Bill being for the
construction of a tramway from Gold Hawk Road to Beadon
Road, and a relief line through Studland Street, Glenthorne
Road and Beadon Road, and to Kew and Richmond, the
Board decided to enter into negotiations with the promoters
for the insertion in the Bill of protective clauses, and for
certain modifications. The clauses having been inserted in
the Bill, the Board gave its consent to the construction of the
tramway, but the Bill has not yet passed the House of Lords.
8.—Westminster, Pimlico and Chelsea Tramways. This scheme
was subsequently abandoned.
