SMOKING IN CONVEYANCES.

l (To the Editor.) Sir, —It is quite refreshing to know ! that at last some steps are being taken ■ to put a stop to the inveterate liabit of smoking in the non-smoking carriages of our trains. Surely, now that work has begun, let it be hoped that the in- i spectors and conductors of the trams j and motor buses will now take some steps to have this dangerous and unhealthy thing stopped in the near ; future. Now, sir, is it not time that, for the sake of the health and safety of the passengers in the motor buses, , there should be rigid laws enforced to ; stop even _the drivers from smoking j inside the buses. Another step while on this important question, when are o\ir j health and hygienic experts going to awake to the' fact that many of those I who handle the foodstuffs of nearly j every kind in and around Auckland j , may be seen smoking while delivering i their gmids', and their actions arc not too clean at it either. Some try to fight flies, but here is an evil quite as bad. Hoping this will find some better champion than myself.—l am. etc.. HYGIENIC.
