UNPAID TRAMWAY FARES

Sir,—With regard to the financial de> ficiency in tramway returns, I should say from what one can see, more or loss every dav and every evening, that a considerable" sum is lost to the management on account of a number of people who evade payment. This they do at times by assuming a pre-occupied look or 'by lighting up and looking another way. There are women also who have had seats given up to them and whp are mean enough to let the conductor go by, since he does not recognise them as newcomers. . Other people, again, hold their concession tickets in their hands all the time, but make no attempt to hand them out to be clipped. \ visitor to Wellington said to me the other day, "I travelled four sections on your tram to-day for nothing. The conductor passed me by every tune. 1 would seem, therefore, that conscientious people who see that they pay every time must face the prospect of rising tiam fares, the necessity for which is in some degree due to the fact that many unscrupulous people ride free when they can.-I am, etc., OBSERVER.
