and maintain new tramways in various parts
of Lonaon.
I .on don County
Council (Tramways
and
Improvements).
42. The only new tramway in this Borough was No. 14, to
commence in Queen's Road by a junction with the existing tramway,
passing along a short length of new road, proposed to be constructed
under the provisions of the Bill, between Queen's Road and Heath
Road, thence along Heath Road and Silverthorne Road, and joining
the existing tramway in Wandsworth Road. This proposal was made
in order to avoid the widening of Wandsworth Road, which would be
necessary if the single line there was converted into a double line.

and Vauxhall line—From East Hill to a point in Wandsworth Road,
opposite the Eastern end of Nine Elms Lane; atid the Queen's Road
line—From Lavender Hill to a point in Queen's Road, near the
junction of Robertson Street.

the new street above-mentioned, so as to connect Queen's Road with
