A TRAMLINE NUISANCE.
~.<J TH» EDtIOB Or THI rRIS3 .Sir.- May I enquire, through die columns of your paper, if then; is no method of cleaning dust out. of tram, lines other than running one ot the electric-driven water tanks, with dragging spikes attached, over the rails and raising clouds of dust that in an easterly breeze (an ivc so often get) would put a Soudanese desert dust storm in the shade:-' In these days "f germs and disease, surely there might be something done to prohibit the Tramway Board from committing such ;i flaring example of nuisance. Living in Colombo road, Ileatheotc, all those )K?ople on the western side can tell you of the amount of dust the scraping up throws into their houses, and if persons watched from up the hills the contraption coming along the road, they would sec for themselves the amount of filth scattered by an easterly wind over those prr>|>ei'ties. Trusting something can ho done to abate the nuisance.—Yours, etc.. VICTIM.
