St Thomas Mount Tramway Proposal 1836

In 1936 a submission was made from the Government in Madras to the Directors of East India Company in London concerning two projects. One was the project to build a tramway for carrying road materials from Mount St Thomas. [1]. The Madras Gazette of the 4th May 1836 [2] had enquired why this project was taking place.

The reply dated 19th September 1838 dismissed the proposal as a quotation was not attached and as there was no savings to be made. The scheme was discounted out of hand [1].
