of Trade to the fact, that no steps have yet been taken by
the Company to carry out the work promised in their letter."
A further letter was received from the Assistant Secretary
(Railway Department) Board of Trade), enclosing copy
of a letter from the London, Camberwell, and Dulwich
Tramways Comany, stating that they had not proceeded
with the work owing to the refusal of the Local and Road
Authorities to grant permission for the connection between
Peckham Rye and Rye Lane, but that the Directors have
given instructions to have the statutory notice given to the
shareholders to meet, with the view of liquidation of the
existing Company, and forming one with large enough
capital to be applicable to so much of the line as the Local
and Road Authorities have allowed to be constructed and

Further negotiations are pending in this matter, the
Vestry being still desirous to afford every assistance in
order to bring to a successful termination this protracted
undertaking, and thus eventually to open up improved
communication with East Dulwich and its vicinity.
