It confirms strongly the opinion I expressed in the House of Lords that if tram ways are to be laid down in the streets they should be so by some public authority and not by private companies.

Your calculation seems to show that there would be more than profit enough ...", 4 sides 8vo., 13 Carlton House Terrace, 14th February
