the city tramcars were Discarded this morning with anMureements that penny fares would come into operation on Sunday next. This decision ms reached at a meeting of tlie City Council some leelts ago, when the first sections the centre of the city were cut in Saif and the whole of the sections generally revised. The alteration is expected to enurage a great deal more use being made of the trams for short trips of a tew stops. “At present we have omy one thing i ask. but we aak that most j amestly,” remarked Councillor J. A. * this morning. *|| is that passengers should -situ a point of assisting us by having the correct faro ready, particularly those passengers who are only paying * Penny. “Failure to assist in this way can —jy aid to the expense of the trams, result in slowing up on the busy .actions. "Further, the shortage of tramcars hat hi developing in the city, makes h« speeding up of the services an dnolute necessity, and we can only do mv and cater for the increased traffic ettsfactorily if the public help us. It i to their advantage.” The new concession cards are being listributed to the agents to-day. It will lie remembered that the bus jgfwlces become merely feeder services *s from Sunday, and will only run into and from the city at rush MM* From the city the first sections end u follow: — Queen Street —At Town Hall.
