VOLKSRAAD DEBATES.
Extracts from the Published Reports.
1889.
May 8.—On the application of the Sheba G. M. Co. for permission to erect an aërial tram from the mine to the mill,

The only objection that the Chairman had to urge against granting the tram was that the Company had an English name, and that with so many Dutch ones available.
