NOISY TRAMS.

(To the Editor.) Sir.—Now that tlie local boili 's arc considering the tramways, might I suggest, that it Hpuld be a good opportunity to discuss the noisiness of many of the .Jiys? The cause is generally imdei-sti-od to be>that..the trams, in cjuesr.ion •re., out ■ of, repair, but the effeH is nexye racking, in the extreme. Tl'osa who..occupy premises in. Queen Street (most ._£. them ■ suburban residents) cs{ucialry know .the misery of it, and sdmfi of the ears kre, so noisy that the cc-dtictor has a .difficulty in makinv' jh.ini.elt heard. If I remember rightly, some' time ago, when the cars v-ere owned by.the._ompan.Ythe.council took up the matter.and, made ,the. compary but the cars in order.- Dnrihg the war. however,;things were allowed to drift, but When, the Jdayor arranged for tlia purchase no, doubt he allowed fcr . the cpst of.putting matters riglit. If so, ythy,'SjfM if not Wen dope? Just now the ideal bpdiea. can press the matter, but lOOiiu the increased,,fares are agreed to jthey . probably will, not be calletl icgefn.r until .a further increase is .wanted, which may be years to conie.—J. am crt T, D'ARCY __A__ILTO}J.
