TRAMWAY EXTENSION.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I submit that with several tramway extensions required the most important should receive first attention, and that the most urgent may fairly be said to be the district where there is the largest population without any means of transit to the City. That •being -so, the people of Mount Albert who live along the main Edendale Road have a real grievance. I ask the City Councillors and Mayor to take a motor car ride from Kingsland out the Edendale Road, and see for themselves if trams are not long overdue. There are streets and streets full, or half full, of houses, and most of these streets come to a dead end about half way toward? Dominion Road. There is more building going on in this district than any other part of Auckland. There is not even a railway, as there is at Mount Albert and Green" Lane. We therefore protest against catering to racecourses and neglecting the legitimate requirements of the workers.—l am, etc.. E. STEVEXSON. President of Mt. Albert Ratepayers' and Residents' Progressive Association.
