construct new tramways, and to reconstruct exist,
mg tramways in various parts of London.
37. The proposed tramways in this Borough were tramways
Nos. 8 and 8a (from the existing tramways at Putney Bridge
along High Street, Putney, Putney Bridge Road, High Street,.
Wandsworth, to York Road, Wandsworth), of which 1 m. 1 f.
10.30 ch. will be double, and 5.45 ch. single line. This route is in
substitution of the proposed tramways along Upper Richmond
Road and Putney High Street, referred to in the last Annual

at the request of this Council. The tramway along Putney BridgeRoad
is to be worked by the overhead system, and along High
Street, Wandsworth, by the underground electrical system.

the interests of this Borough. Several conferences were held
between the Officers of this Council and of the County Council,,
and finally an agreement was entered into by the two Councils
with reference to the widening of High Street, Wandsworth (including
the bridge over the River Wandle), and Putney Bridge
Road, the paving of roads and footpaths and other matters connected
with the construction of the proposed tramways. Upon
the agreement being entered into this Council withdrew its opposition
to the Bill, which received Royal Assent on the 3rd August
