SCHEDULE.
DUNDEE CORPORATION.
Provisional Order to confer powers on the Dundee
Corporation
to abandon the
construction
of
road and
sea wall works and substitute other works
therefor
to
run omnibuses within the city to make
certain
pro-
visions in
respect
of municipal administration
and
in
connection
with the finances of the city and for
other
purposes.
WHEREAS the lord provost magistrates and councillors
of the city and royal burgh of Dundee (hereinafter called
" the Corporation " and " the city " respectively) are
vested with the municipal and police administration
thereof and are the local authority within the city under
the Public Health (Scotland) Act 1897 :
And whereas by the Dundee Corporation Order 1926
the Dundee Gas Commissioners and the Dundee Water
Commissioners were dissolved as from the fifteenth day
of November nineteen hundred and twenty-six and the
Corporation were constituted the authority for carrying
the Dundee Gas Acts 1868 to 1925 and the Dundee
Electricity Orders 1890 to 1913 and the Dundee Water
Acts 1869 to 1925 into execution in lieu and in place of
the Gas Commissioners and Water Commissioners respec-
tively and the said Dundee Gas Acts and the said Dundee
Water Acts respectively were thereby amended accord-
ingly and the undertakings of the Gas Commissioners and
the Water Commissioners respectively authorised by the
said gas Acts and electricity Orders and the said water
Acts were transferred to and vested in the Corporation
and the Corporation became the undertakers under the
said Acts and Orders in lieu and in place of the Gas
Commissioners and Water Commissioners respectively:
And whereas owing to the development and extension
of the city principally through the erection of state-aided
dwelling-houses in outlying districts of the city it is
expedient that the Corporation should be empowered to
run omnibuses within the city:

And whereas it is expedient that the Corporation A.D. 1927.
should be authorised to borrow and raise money for the —
purposes of this Order and to levy rates and assessments .
as in this Order provided:
And whereas by the Dundee Boundaries Act 1913
(hereinafter called " the Boundaries Act of 1913 ") the
burgh of Broughty Ferry and certain portions of the
county of Forfar were incorporated with and added to
the city and it was by the said Act provided that the
Corporation should within ten years apply for and
endeavour to obtain powers to enable them to construct
and maintain a new road along the foreshore as therein
set forth:
And whereas by the Dundee Corporation Order 1921
(hereinafter called " the Order of 1921 ") the Corporation
were authorised to make and maintain the road and sea
wall works therein described being the road along the
foreshore referred to in the Boundaries Act of 1913:
And whereas by the Dundee Corporation and Water
and Gas Order 1925 (hereinafter called " the Order of
1925 ") the Corporation were empowered to limit and
modify the road and sea wall works authorised by the
Order of 1921 in the manner therein set forth :
And whereas the existing roads between Dundee
and Broughty Ferry have been improved and widened in
many parts and a new road made and when the substituted
works provided for in this Order are completed the means
of communication between Dundee and Broughty Ferry
will be ample arid it is therefore unnecessary and inex-
pedient to proceed with the road and sea wall works
authorised by the Order of 1921 as modified by the Order
of 1925 and it would be of local and public advantage
that the Corporation should be authorised to abandon
the same and that the Corporation should be authorised
to construct the said substituted works as in this Order
provided:
And whereas plans and sections showing the lines
situations and levels of the several street works authorised
by this Order and also a book of reference to such plans
containing the names of the owners and lessees or reputed
owners and lessees and of the occupiers of the lands
houses and other property required or which may be
taken for the purposes or under the powers of this Order
