THE ALDINGTON TRAMS.

i TO THE KPITOK OP "THE PRESS." _ Sir,— In looking through the new time-tahlo issued by the Tramway Board, it tril] br noticed that practically ■ nil the principal line? have received an improved morning .ami a ton minutes' afternoon service—with the exception of A del m,sit on. According to the returns published in tout paper yesterday, Addincton (wini about $>0,000 passengers) is third on the list. Therefore, if a 20-15 ininuto service c.-in carry this number, why should not the lino bo capable of fun her development—receive a ten minutes' afternoon (as nuniners of tlio afternoon cars are crowded every trip), and thus be placed on a level with iidgowaro road, Linwood, and Woolston, the returns on all these lines appearing to tw lower than on Adtlirtgton ? Papanui nnd Cashmero are the only two which have higher-placed figure?. As the Board have now a lr.rgor number of cars at their disposal, the Addington residents should petition for an improved running —a. running which would adequately cater for a growing district. If the Windmill road line i:< the objection to a. better time-table, what can be said against it when nearly all the other lines have double services part of tiie way? It is to be hoped that the Traffic Committee will earnestly consider this matter at their next meeting. —Yours, etc., ADDINGTON.
