authorised to make and maintain the widenings altera-
tions and improvements of streets hereinafter in this
Order described and to acquire lands therefor:
And whereas the Corporation are the owners of the
existing tramways within the city and it is expedient

authorised with the object of completing and supple-
menting their existing system of tramways and that
certain of the powers and provisions contained in their
existing Tramways Acts should be made applicable to

(hereinafter called " the Order of 1921 ") the Corporation
were authorised to make and maintain the road and sea

foreshore referred to in the Dundee Boundaries Act 1913 :
And whereas owing to the abnormal price of labour
and materials the cost of carrying out the road and
works authorised by the Order of 1921 has become
