A TRAMWAY COMPLAINT.
Sir,—After waiting ten minutes for a tram from Constable Street at Courtenay i'lace, so as to catch a train, the tram being five minutes late, after missing the train I thought I would vrrite. The Mayor of Wellington thinks the tramway service here is vory good, because visitors say so, I presume. What do they know about the actual needs of the community ? I, for one, have found the trams five minutes late, and sometimes no tram for Lambton Station for fully fifteen-minute periods, aaid then they talk about running a service to connect with trains when the oentral railway station is at Bunny Street, and they cannot, run a small service now without blunders. Others have said to me that the tramway service wants bringing up to date. It is all very well to run trams for profit, but that can be overdone. It is my conviction that so long as people aro making money, AVellington's welfare can go to the dogs. Blow enterprise— anything for money.—l am, etc., WAKE UP.
