§ 50. Mr. SCRYMGEOURasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Dundee, Broughty Ferry, and Monifieth Tramway Company's line is at various parts seriously in need of 1726 repair; and, in such circumstances, what steps are likely to be taken by his Department in the matter?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI have no information before me showing that the tramway line referred to is at present in need of repair. I may add, with regard to the last part of the question, that it is primarily a matter for the road authorities concerned to take any necessary steps to secure that tramway companies comply with their obligations so far as they relate to the proper maintenance of the roads on which the tramways are laid.
§ Mr. SCRYMGEOURIs there any inspection made at all by the, authorities of such unsatisfactory tracks?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI could not say what the local authorities do. I make no inspection.
