EXPRESS TRAMS
Sir, — Again I would beg space in your valuable columns regarding my letter referring to an express tram. I am afraid that “More Speed” has given me credit for no common sense. I think if he reads my original letter he will find that I say I am not nervous, and that I like to travel at a good rate. No one hates the slow-motion crab-crawl which our tramway corporation chooses to call a tram service more than I do, but I beg to differ from “More Speed” when he says that there are many among the citizens who would gladly sacrifice life, limb, or even equilibrium for the sake of arriving home a quarter of an hour earlier than usual. At the same time, 1 very much regret that if a motorman is “inspired” to go even at a good pace, he is doomed to sit and wait at the clock before he may register, unless of course he is late. On the other hand, I don’t fancy being party to a mixup of glass, splinters, and 50 or 60 people. BUSINESS WORKER.
