Government of Bengal Public Works Department Calcutta Tramways Committee 1924-25

1925

We are strongly of opinion that any measures for the improvement or extension of the present tramways service in the shape of additional facilities to the public will help the position to a great extent and further that the present service and the attitude of the Company are on the whole unsatisfactory from the point of view of the general public. [...] We consider that the fact that the Tramways Company is administered by Directors in England is prejudicial to the interests of Calcutta and is likely to hinder the improvment of the present working of the Company and the extension of the system. [...] So far as the Calcutta Tramways Company is concerned the functions of the Standing Committee of the Corporation are limited to see that the provisions of the Tramways Act and the agreements of the Company with the Corporation are cbserved. [...] General.—We are strongly of opinion that any measures for the improvement or extension of the present tramways service in the shape of additional facilities to the public will help the position to a very great extent ; and further that the present services and the attitude of the Company are on the whole unsatisfactory from the point of view of the general public. [...] We consider that the fact that the Tramways Company is administered by Directors in England is prejudicial to the interests of Calcutta and is likely to hinder the improvement of the present working of the Company and the extension of the system.
