OLE) LADY HONOURED.
A : THE WADESTOWN TEAM FUNCTION. Opening the Wadestown lino yesterday the Deputy-Mayor (Councillor J. Smith) mentioned that when Dr. Newman turned the first sod, 14 . months previously, the ceremony was attended by Mrs. W. Heighton, a lady 74 years of age, who then stated that she had climbed the Wadestown.Hill for thirty-four years. The Deputy-Mayor, said that he trusted that Mrs. Heighton was again with them that day, in health and ready to use the Wadestown t'rams for the next 25 years. Mrs. Heighton was present and "shook hands with the Deputy-Mayor. Subsequently Councillor 'Fletcher took occasion to remark that an old lady who had battled up and down the hill'afoot, in all weathers, for !)i years was surely now, in hoi' ripe old age, entitled to a tramway free pass. Ho would be pre-' pared to move at, the next meeting of tho Trannvay Committee that Mrs. Heighton should be granted a pass. Called upon to speak, Mrs. Heighton expressed an opinion that the scale of fares for the Wadesfown line might be lowered. As to herself she thought that, haying walked so long, she was now entitled to a ride.
