TRAMWAYMEN
I notice that a citizen died this week from concussion through falling from a tramcar. I had the experience of falling from a tram myself just recently. On alighting in Dominion Road one evening, with one foot on the step and the other one off, the car began to mo *e, much to my dismay and my husband's consternation. Had it not been for his presence, the result may have proved serious. The same thing occurs when passengers are boarding trams. Often they scarcely have time to get inside, let alone take a seat, before the car goes jogging along. Why don't tram conductors see that all passengers are off before pulling the bell? They are responsible, as they give the signal for the motorman to proceed. Patience is a virtue—it behoves some people to remember that. Let us hope we have more consideration from the lady conductors. They will not be looking for privileges. There will be a job to do, and 1 am sure they will be quite capable of doing it. E.VJL
