TRAMWAY.

Tramway not to be certified fit for traffic.

25. Neither the tramway nor any portion thereof shall be opened until opened for public traffic until the same has been certified to be fit for such traffic by the Director of Public Works or other officer duly appointed in writing for that purpose by the Governor in Council, and the Governor in Council has, by notification in the Gazette, authorised the same to be opened for such traffic.

Procedure when public not afforded full benefit of tramway.

Procedure on non-compliance with order.

[s. 26, rep. No. 1 of 1912.]

Insufficient user of tramway.

27. If it shall be represented in writing to the Governor in Council by the Director of Public Works or by twenty inhabitant ratepayers that the public are not afforded the full benefit of the tramway, the Governor in Council may (if satisfied that prima facie the case is one for inquiry) appoint an officer to inquire into the matter and to hold an inquiry and report thereon, and, if the truth of the representation shall be proved, the Governor in Council may issue an order to the company, requiring it to provide such a service of cars as will afford to the public the full benefit of the tramway, and such order may prescribe the number of cars which the company shall run upon the tramway, and the mode and times in and at which such cars shall be run. Every such order shall be served upon the company within forty-eight hours after it shall have been made, and shall be published in the Gazette next following the making thereof. Provided that the Governor in Council shall, before issuing any such order, be satisfied that under good and economical management the prescribed service will be fairly remunerative to the company; and that, after the company shall have complied with such order for not less than thirty days, the Governor in Council may on the application of the company revoke or modify any such order.

28. If for the period of three months after the service of such order the company shall fail or neglect to comply therewith, the tramway shall be deemed to be a tramway to which all the provisions of this Ordinance relating to the discontinuance of the tramway after proof of such discontinuance shall apply, and it may be dealt with accordingly.
