TRAMWAY PLATFORMS.
(To the Edltor.N Sir,—l About those platforms. They may be a good idea or not, according to the way thcv are treated, but the travelling public want a tlmrough drilling by the inspectors and the police to counteract their anti-social habits. For instance, when I am waiting on the platform and a tram approaches I do object to a big young man jumping from the moving tram and near'.y knocking mc and others under the moving motor cars, which of course at these spots are not called upon to stop. This is absolutely illegal, and should be stopped by the authorities with a few smart prosecutions and fines. Further, one never knows where the tram i 9 going to stop, and the people are running up and down like a lot of sheep. Either the platforms should be used similar to railway platforms or done away with. On tbe London railways is a sign "Wait Till the Train Stops." " Something of the sort is wanted here, and should be enforced with severity.—l am. etc., OBSERVER.
