23 & 24 Vict. c. 152.
44 & 45 Vict. c. 17.
|
23. The Tramways (Ireland) Acts are hereby amended as follows:—
|
|
| |
(1.) The enactment in section one of the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, that it shall not be competent to make application for a tramway or tramways under the provisions of that Act to unite places between which statutory powers for making a railway or railways for directly connecting the same shall have been granted and be in force is hereby repealed, except in cases where such railway shall have been actually constructed, or shall be in actual course of construction, or where the railway company having such powers, shall satisfy the Lord Lieutenant in Council that it is their intention forthwith to proceed in good faith to construct such railway.
|
|
| |
(2.) Notwithstanding the enactments to the contrary contained in sections twenty-six and twenty-seven of the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, Orders in Council made under those sections for varying, extending, enlarging, or maintaining any tramway, or for extending the time limited for the completion of a tramway, or for authorising the abandonment of a tramway or part thereof, shall take effect when made, and shall not require to be confirmed by an Act of Parliament.
|
|
| |
(3.) The times appointed by the Tramways (Ireland) Acts for the publishing of advertisements, the depositing of maps, plans, books of reference, memorials, and other documents, and the giving of notices may, so far as relates to proceedings under this Act, be varied from time to time by the Lord Lieutenant by Order in Council.
|
|
| |
(4.) In the first sub-section of the twenty-ninth section of the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, the period of fourteen days shall be substituted for the period of forty-eight hours, as the period within which the payment or deposit of money as security for the completion of the tramway as therein mentioned may be made.
|
|
| |
(5.) Every Order in Council which sanctions a baronial guarantee under this Act may also provide that the forty-second section of the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, shall not apply to the tramway in favour of which such guarantee is sanctioned.
|
|
| |
(6.) Notwithstanding the limits prescribed by the fifth section of the Tramways (Ireland) Amendment Act, 1881, for the speed at which locomotives worked by steam may be driven along any tramway, the Board of Trade may from time to time by Order authorise such locomotives to be driven at a speed not exceeding twelve miles an hour elsewhere than through any town or village. So long as a locomotive is being driven on a tramway at a greater distance than thirty feet from the centre of any public road, the limits of speed prescribed by the Tramways (Ireland) Acts or this Act shall not apply.
