DISABLED MEN

The question of free tramway rides for disabled soldiers was discussed last week by the Onehunga Borough Council, which earried a resolution expressing the opinion "that it would be a graceful reccgnition by the citizens of Greater Auckland of the sacriflces rnade by permanently disabled soldiers if free tramway passes were granted to men suffering from locomotor disability," and that the question sliould be settled with that of increased fares. Copies of this resolution are to be sent to all the other suburban bodies, requesting them to support it. Mr L. J. Lloyd, who is a returned soldier, stated that there were ahout 120 returned soldiers in the Auckland district who had lost an arm or leg, and probably ahout 300 men altogether who should b© granted temporary free tramway passes.
