Where the loop line is proposed near Bonamy street,
there will be a portion on the East side only of the road
which will be at a less distance than the statutory width
(9-ft. 6-in.), viz.:—5-ft. 6½-in. between the outside of the
footpath and the nearest rail of the Tramway.
At the loop and at the junction referred to, it will be
necessary for the Vestry to insist upon the entire width of
the carriageway to be paved with granite pitching, and
that the portion of the loop line immediately adjacent to
the urinal should be placed at such a distance therefrom as
hereafter may be arranged with the Vestry.
"Tramway No. 25."
Proposed junction of present Tramway in
St. James's Road with the Tramway in
Old Kent Road, next Canal Bridge.
This is a proposed junction with the existing Tramway
of the Southwark and Deptford Tramway Company at a point
23 yards northward from its present termination in the
St. James Road, next Old Kent road, with the existing lines
of the London Tramways Company Limited, at a point 10
yards measured in a north-westerly direction from the centre
of Canal Bridge, Old Kent road.
This will be a double line about 2.20 chains in length of
the several gradients of 1 in 23, 1 in 20, 1 in 26, and 1 in
40, and will be at a less width than the statutory width on
the East side.
The usual powers for the protection of the Vestry should
be embodied in the Act.
