FUTURE OF TRAMS?
EXPERT EXPRESSES OPINION. In the April issue of the "Municipal Journnl," issued in London, Mr. Duncan P. Morrison, manager of the Hull Corporation Transport Department, speaking on transport problems, says: "The popularity of the tramcar appears to be definitely on the wane. Even municipalities, which have maintained their tramway systems in a highly-efficient condition, appreciate that the days of rail-bound vehicles are limited, and that sooner than they anticipate they will have to substitute a more flexible type of machine in their place. While a railless bus has advantages over a tramcar, it retains some of its disadvantages, and in a city such as Hull, which is studded with railway level crossings and swing bridges, a self-contained petrol vehicle has distinct advantages over both the tramcar and the raillcss bus."
