NEW TRAMSHED IN USE

AN IMMEDIATE ADVANTAGE,

Without any flourish of trumpets oE speech-set ceremony, the big'new trani-t ehed at Onepu Koad cam© into practi* cal use on Sunday night, and now* every night, some twenty cars aro heA ing housed in. the new structure. Cer-i tain members of tho staff have been permanently attached to the shed, and work from that base. Everything ill. connection with tho new car depot is working capitally, and tho advantage of having such a shed on the other side of the hill is at once noticeable, as, the early morning cars from, Scatoun, Miramar, Lyall Bay, and Kilbirnie ars all based at Onepu Road. Ono immediate advantage to the pub* lie who reside at tho suburbs mention-, cd is the additional late cars, which' run to Kilbirnie South, beyond thoso accounted for in tho time-table. Cars bow leave Lambton Station for the. Onepu Road sheds via the tunnel at 11.16 p.m. and 11.26 p.m., and. via Constable Street, at 11.10 p.m., 11.20 p.m.. 11.30 p.m., and 11.40 p.m. This should prove an iminenso advantago to tho very large, number of people whowill be residing at Lyall Bay and Mara-< uui during the next month or so. Tho tramways authorities also state that an early car now starts from Island Bay at 6.35 a.m. each week day. to catch the 7 a.m. train from To Aro<

The management, with an eye toi freight business, havo arranged for tlio posting of attractive hills at the southern railway stations, notifying the travelling puhlie that tlio city tramways here make a specialty of convey-* ing people's baggage from tlio Ferry Wharf to the railway stations, after the; arrival of tlio ferry steamers from Lytn telton.
