(c) Tramways from Queen Street to Putney.
Reference was made in the last report to the action taken
by the Council in endeavouring to obtain an alteration of the
decision of the London County Council to use granite sets as
the material for paving between the rails of the proposed tramway
between Queen Street and Putney. In furtherance of this
object a joint deputation from the Fulham Borough Council
and this Council attended before the Highways Committee of
the London County Council on 12th July, 1906, and strongly
urged the objections to the proposal, but were unsuccessful in
inducing that Committee to alter its decision. On the 29th
January, 1907, the Highways Committee submitted to the
London County Council proposals for carrying out the construction
of this tramway and of that between the Broadway
and Harlesden. and, after a meeting of representatives of the two
Borough Councils on the subject, strong letters of protest were
again addressed to the County Council, which referred the matter
back to the Highways Committee, and the matter since then
has remained in abeyance.
