Power to break up streets, etc.

11.—The Commissioners, for the purpose of making, forming, laying down, maintaining and renewing the Tramways authorised by this Act, or any part or parts thereof respectively, or the cables or other works or conveniences in connection therewith, or any other buildings or works of which the construction is authorised by this Act may from time to time open and break up and where authorised by this Act alter the level of any street, subject to the following regulations:—

(1) They shall give to the borough surveyor of the Corporation notice of their intention, specifying the time at which they will begin to do so, and the portion of street proposed to be opened or broken up—such notice, except in cases of extreme urgency, to be given seven days at least before the commencement of the work.

(2) They shall not open, or break up, or alter the level of any footway or street, except under the superintendence and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation unless the Corporation refuse or neglect to give such superintendence at the time specified in the Commissioners' notice, or discontinue the same during the work. It shall not be lawful for the Commissioners to sink or raise any street without bringing the whole surface to the same level, unless the Corporation shall otherwise direct.

(3) They shall pay all reasonable expenses to which the Corporation is put on account of such superintendence.

(4) They shall not, without the consent of the said borough surveyor open or break up at any one time a greater continuous length than 400 yards of any street.

(5) They shall not except with the consent of the Minister and subject to such terms and conditions as he after consultation with the Electricity Supply Board thinks fit interfere with any of the electric lines and works of the said Board.
