§ MR. RICHARD M. DANE (Fermanagh, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he was waited upon on Monday last by the chairmen of the several townships through which the Dublin Electric Tramways pass relative to granting permission to extend the rate of speed; and if so, with what result?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. RITCHIE, Croydon)The Board of Trade are being legally advised as to whether they have any 404 power to raise the speed above the limit imposed by the Special Act, namely eight miles an hour.
