QUEEN STREET TRAM EXTENSION.
{Tα the Editor.* Sir,— Having had long experience in tram running, I can state that ahorfcrun trams do not pay, and are a nuisance alike to the public and the company, and the idea of a tenniaus at WeUealey Street is bad. It can bo avoided at profit to the company and •benefit to the people and the city. The tram from the barn should go down Queen Street, along Custom Street liast, up the new city outlet now bfting provided, up Symonda Street, past Choral Hall to Karangahnpe Road; along Karangahape Road, and down Queen Street again, and vice versa. So the company will have a payable long run
circuit, and the city will get, iboth for business and pleasure, a, very agreeaible and useful run opened up. and there will be no terminus trouble. If the company had a few open cars on this run it would 'be popular for sight-seeing. No doubt, in the near future the out districts' cars will run the new outlet, alternately.—l am, etc., i E. J. CLAYTON.
