TRAM CARS.

TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PB2SS." Sir, —I was very pleased to lead a letter from a lady correspondent with reference .to the high stepping required to board our cars. I havo often been a painful witness to the difficulty of bur old people in their alpine climbing efforts. The Tramway Board will have to do something in the near future. I would endorse your correspondent's remarks regarding the hurry often exhibited on the Papanui'line. When jumping on a car the other night I had just got my feet on the first step when off it went. • Fortunately I had a good grip of the iron rod, or I might have fallen. I would also ask, like your correspondent, what is all the hurry? When my mother observed that, as a boy, I was needlessly in a hurry, and perhaps knocked over something, she would remark: "They're aye in a hurry the de'il chases." One would think sometimes that not only the de'il but some of his choice legions were at the heels of both our tramway and motor-car drivers!— Yours, etc., ' , GANG WARILY. ,
