TRAMWAY DESTINATION SIGNS.
"Traveller" asks "Why are tramway conductors not responsible for misleading signboards on the trams?" It is, very probably, because be and other complainants carry their grievances to the long-suffering editor instead of "pom-pomming" them on to the council's traffic manager, who goes abroad to learn au about improving tbe service for the full benefit of the proprietors—the general public. It is, of course, manifestly tbe duty of conductors to see that their passengers are not misconducted. I have had similar experience to that of "Traveller," but believe this dereliction to be quite exceptional. One should be able to rely more on the "esprit" of conductors generally; for instance, they should rigidly observe their clear responsibility in the matter of announcing ends of sections, otherwise bow are people in crowded cars on dark, wet nights to recognise their stopping places? This important matter has consistently been neglected in the past. ■ G.C.B.
