During 1921 and 1922, as a result of prolonged discussions and conferences with the Tramway Company, certain extensions were agreed upon, terms were arranged, and the Council's sanction was formally communicated to the Company. Not content, however, the Company continually endeavoured to obtain further concessions 80 that on May 6 of the latter year the Company was informed that the Council would not consider or discuss any further concessions until those already granted were carried out, The terms being then agreed and the dates "of completion for each extension specified, it appears to the Council that no good reason has been shown to account for the present position, in which it is learned that no single extension has been carried out, nor any contract placed. It appears to the Council incredible that if the Company were genuinely desirous of proceeding with its extensions at the earliest possible date, that it should have taken no steps what ever to carry out the arrangement. It is even more extraordinary that the detail of embodying the arrangement in a formal document, and that document having been drafted, it should have undergone such modification at the hands of the Company as to. enumerate all the concessions agreed to be given by the Council, but to eliminate the stipulations which formed the consideration for these concessions.
