THE TRAMWAY TIME-TABLE.

Sir, —In your issue of to-day appears a paragraph .concerning a-complaint by a correspondent r6-the.,running-'-of, ; the Thdrridou Station trams. Also you give Mr. -Cable's explanation/of; the mariner of-the. running of; cars, to 'arid from the Thbr'i'idori.Hailway Statiorii'.'-As Mr.; .Cablo states; there is-'a ten'minutes' service .'to:Thorridqn Esplanade, all day -^-except'when a car breaks down—and this, also.serves-the train -people.;. But -he is very;-wide.of the mark, .when he .-tliat at' certain .hours during i'the day. a fiv'e-inihute.tram-service is ! run; At the hours he 'riientions certain Newtown cars run through :to. the sta-. tion, but here, is'- the < point, they closely follow; the Thorndon. Quay cars, 'so that, instead-of>-one /ear ~every, live minutes, we -havo-two^-cars'•every- ten minutes—a' very . different .matter to train : folkj however- it suits, tramway ; managers. on trie regular -cars, /naturally .these, stray ~ Ne'wtowns nearly always, empty, just as the Constable Street cars used to bo when they run through to Thorndon just behind the regular cars. It seems a most incomprehensible ;thing that a fiveminute service cannot:.-be arranged.— I.am,:etc.,. '.--, / : 'September .6.'. ';,,.'■"' '';..
