TRAMS v. MOTOR-BUSES.
i PALMERSTON NOR'fH OPPOSES TRAMS. By Telegraph—Presss Association': Palmerston North, Thursday. A vote of ratepayers was taken today regarding the institution of electric trams. Last year a vote was carried in favor of raising a loan. Since then there has been strong agitation against the proposal, particularly on account of the inadequate route service and tile necessity for an expensive tunnel under the railway line in fhe square. The poll today was the result of a petition lodged against the proposal. The voting was as follows: —Against the trams 054, for trams 551; majority against the trams 103. The result can be interpreted to mean that the majority of the ratepayers believe that Palmerston having no congested main arterial roads can be better served by a motor-bus system. It is not unlikely that a proposal for municipal buses will be made if the borough will allow the inauguration of such a system, about which there seems, at, present some doubt. i. >
