THE TRAMWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —As a well-wisher of this spirited enterprise, will you permit me, through your valuable columns, to call attention to what appear to be two serious defects in the management of the tramway so far. In the first place, no time-table has been published, and the general public are therefore entirely ignorant as to the time of starting from, and arrival at, various points of the line, or whether they will be able to get into a carriage at any place along the line on signalising their desire to the guard. In the second place, the length of time elapsing b fl tween trains to-day was far too long. Further, I would point out that it* the company wish to popularise their undertaking, they will run every train from end to end, as, in that event, families living in one extremity of the city might go to see their friends residing in the other, aud vice versa, at any hour of the day. The present arrangements practically preclude this, — X am, &c., Thorndon. August 26.
