Synopsis

Excerpt from A Manual of the Acts for the Construction of Tramways and Light Railways in Ireland: Being a Reprint of Those Acts With a Concise and Popular Exposition of Their Provisions; Explanatory Notes, Practical Forms, and Copious Index

The legislation of last session encouraging the construction of Tramways, and extending, at the instance of Mr. Lea, m.p. For Donegal, the provisions for that purpose to Light Railways, must soon come largely into Operation. Having regard to the scope of that legislation and the parts of the country it is likely immediately to affect, it is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of it without delay. The Tramways Act of 1883 will bring great advantages to the inhabitants of poor and remote districts. Many of them who are not much affected by the Land Act will derive substantial benefit from the working of the new measure. Nor should the advantage to existing railways from the construction of new feeders of traffic be lost sight of.

It is hoped, therefore, that it will prove useful to have the various Irish Tramways Acts collected and printed together with a brief and popular explanation of their provisions. That will be attempted in the following pages. Forms, based on precedents already used, of Notice, Memorial, and Order in Council incorporating Company, and embodying Working Clauses, have been appended.

It is obviously of great importance that the public should have, without delay, the information sought to be given in this little work. In the desire to give it early, though great care has been taken, it is feared that mistakes may have been made. It is hoped that, if any there be, they will be few and not important.
