April 5th, 1890.
London, Camberwell, and Dulivich Tramways Company.
Dear Sir,—I am now instructed by my Directors to
inform you in reply to your letter R, 3962, of the 27th
ultimo, that they expect to conclude contracts in the course
of the next ten days, by which the line from Choumert
Road through Rye Lane, as sanctioned by the local authorities,
will be immediately constructed and equipped for the
purposes of public traffic.
I am further requested to say, that to work the existing
portion of the line without the completion of that part of it
from Choumert Road through Rye Lane to its terminus at
High Street, Peckham (as authorised), could only be done
at a serious loss.
It being the desire of my Directors to utilise the whole
line at the earliest possible moment, I beg to assure you
that their best efforts are being used to prevent any unnecessary
delay.
I am, &c.,
W. F. Fowle,
Secretary.
