TRAM CONVERTED
P.A. CHRISTCHURCH, October 26. The first instance of a tramcar being converted in Christchurch occurred last Saturday night. After the last trams had left Cathedral Square for various suburbs, one that is kept overnight in an open shed at the corner of the Square ready to fill an emergency was driven out and down High Street and Ferry Road on the way to Sumner. At midnight, when all the trams due have returned to the sheds, the electricity r is cut off for testing of the overhead wires, and' the cut-off brought the tram to a standstill near Barbadoes Street.
There it stood till a constable notified the Tramway Board that it was a danger to traffic. No one saw the driver.
