TRAMWAYS.
* . To the Editor. ; SlA—I think; that “A Citizen,” whose letter regarding tramw .ys appears fn the Maß of this evening, must have b inf rmed by bis friend regarding the co-t of tbe Glasgow i railways. He states their cost at about L4O per foot, which-is equal to about L 211,000 per mile, a sum which is plainly a gro»s error I reside in Glasgow during the timethe prim cipal lines were constructed, and for some time after they were in 'full operation, Bbd 1 think can be,no question as t j their, greakpomfort and oonvenienoe aa compared with' ffie old’ ay tempi omhibu es. The, average cost‘of tbe. tranfwSyB 1 dvef tho City was I believe about LIO,OOO per mile. If I remember aright the Edinburgh tramways cost considerab-y less tuan that sum,, hut it was-said the'Glasgofe tramways were oonstrueted in an extra substaht.al manner.—*! am, ftc. r WW ■/;: -I;,-.; T,, Dunedin, February Id, - cU Vnil, I J
