Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a report and proceedings of a select committee appointed on the 2nd July, 1863, to report upon the petition presented to the Cape Town Council on the 26th June, by Fishermen and others, on the subject of the proposed rail or tramway to be laid down from the Breakwater Works to Rogge Bay. It contains detailed accounts of the testimonies given by shermen and other parties who would be affected by the new construction. The book delves into the complex conflict between the shermen, who feared their livelihoods would be damaged, and the Harbour Board, who argued that the tramway would streamline transportation and improve access to goods and services. The author meticulously records the progression of the dispute as it evolved over several meetings of the select committee. This book provides valuable insights into the historical development of Cape Town's infrastructure, the struggles faced by marginalized communities, and the role of government in balancing economic progress with the protection of traditional practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
