Per Press Association^ AUCKLAND, last night.
The Auckland electric trams commonca running on Sunday nest week. This ia prohibited within tho city by a clause in tho deeds of agreement until a poll of ratepayers, but there is no such provision in the company’s agreement with tho suburban bodies. Omnibuses will run through the city, connecting with the electric cars from noon till 10.30 p.tn. The Tramway Company state they will probably take a vote of city ratepayers on the subject shortly,'the recent municipal poll having been pronounced unsatisfactory.
