THE TRAMWAY WANTED.
To the Editor, Sib, —Your last Thursday’s issue contains a letter from “H.,” calling the electors’ attention to the necessity of a tramway from Dunedin to Caversbaiu this summer. As a train leaves morning and night in time to take workmen to and from their work in town, and trains run at intervals during the day, and as coaches run every five or ten minutes, I can’t conceive what on earth we want with a tramway. Surely “ H.” niust be out of his mind to pro pose such a thing. Has he any idea what such an undertaking would cost ? if so, perhaps he intended putting in a contract, and thus the reason of him proposing such a silly idea. But, happy thought! perhaps “ H.” is some old lady, whose poor bones are so shaken by the jostling of the coaches that she proposes a train from Que {tic) say to the Empire Hotel.—l am, &c., J. Calderville, August 21.
