CIRCULAR TRAMWAY SERVICES.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Referring to the suggestions re tha city tramway service, contained in my letter which you were kind enough to publish in the "rftar" of February 11 last, suggestions which the tramway authorities, being apparently unable to bring to -bear any valid argument against their adoption, have chosen to ignore, the enclosed cutting hearing upon a similar problem encountered by a far more important system than our Auckland tramways, and the stops taken to solve it, may be of interest. Tha cutting is taken from the London "Observer" of March 27 last: — "It is announced that from next month the system of stopping trams on the Einlbanknient and turning them back for the return journey will be practically a'bolishcd, and : by far the greater number of the trams will make. uninterrupted, the roughly circular journey from and to the Elephant and Castle hy Blackfriars and Westminster, or viceversa. This continuous circulation art rapidly as possible is almost the whole secret of a successful, efficient, and Gpecdy service. The change io accompanied by its cnroll;\y—an equal fare for a journey from any part of the Embankment in either direction to the Bauie destination." —I am, etc., HENRY F. ROBINSON.
