TRAM BOARD HOLIDAY FARES

TO THE EDITOR OF "THE FBESS." r Sir, —I am neither one of "independent means'' nor « "working man," but j a sort of 'twixt and 'tween, verging V very conn derably on the latter. It ha.<= \ often been a puzilo to mc why the ; tramways, on holidays, should double i their fares, whilst the railways, etc., a* > at Home, very considerably reduce \ thnm, and I think it high time- that the J public, i.e., the ownera, should rebel a ;igainst being treated no by their Board. lam therefore glad that "On* , [>f the Crowd," with whose letter I am entirely in accord, hae set the ball arolling, and I hope that others will back him and mc up. and agitate anr? , citato aJid agitate tiJJ the Tramway i Board is compelled to give in. I would Further suggest that not only on holi- a lays should the return fares by tho 10 !? Vclock tram to the seaside be sixpence ac on other da}Ts), fbut that fhe samp c charge be made by th© 2.5 p.m. trams J , m Tuniredays and Saturdays, the tickets, in aJI cases, to be available for ," returning by any tram on the issue- '' late. Imm quit© cur© that were this t ione, the Board would be more than ~ leased with th© result.—Yours, etc., p -TRAM WELL-WISHER. I October 11th, 1907. [J
