House of Lords.
(Before
This Order was promoted by the Corporation of Dundee for power to construct a road on the foreshore between Dundee and Broughty-Ferry in fulfilment of an obligation imposed on them by the Dundee Boundaries Act 1913, by which Act the two burghs were amalgamated, for power to run motor buses over routes partly within and partly without the burgh boundaries, and for other purposes. The proprietors of the foreshore proposed to be taken for the new road opposed this part of the Order, but unsuccessfully. The clauses relating to the power to run motor buses were opposed by the Railway Companies and by commercial companies already providing such services in the district sought to be worked. On this point the preamble was held not proved.
Clauses were adjusted other than those relating to the motor bus services.
