WILTS & BERKS CANAL TRUST

At a meeting of the Electricity and Tramways Committee the Town Clerk reported that the sanction of the Board of Trade to the tram cars running over the existing bridge over the canal in Regent Street would expire in August next, and it was resolved that it be an instruction to the Borough Surveyor to report to the next meeting of the Committee with regard to the erection of a new bridge over the canal at this point.

Mr. E. Jones asked whether there was not an alternative - could not they try to get the Board of Trade to suspend action rather that incur a huge expense considering the state of the canal and the uncertainty as to its future.
Mr. Thomas said that had already been done, although the fact did not appear in the minutes.
