CASHMERE TRAMS.

TO THE EDITOR 0* "THE PRESS." Sir, —You were good enough last year to publish my mild protest qb to the cruel way Cashmere passengers are exposed to the piercing easterlies and biting southerlies which all but kill the delicate ones. "What should be a pleasant ride to those who appreciate fresh air is made an utter misery, if not a danger, through the windows being unnecessarily open constantly on the windward side of the cnr. . If the windows were open on the leeward side, there would be ample Iresh air for the most fastidious and the misery and danger above referred to averted. We hear conductors refer to a reI gulntion that the windows must _bo either "all up" or "all down." I think such an asinine by-law cannot exist, or if it exists, it requires amending. The other morning, in a strong cold nor'-easterly, four alternate windows were open on the cast sido. I'll leave you sir, to imagine what a time ; we had. Men do not like being driven into tho limited-spaced cabins, por should they be; whilst expensive windows and screens m the open parts are provided, why cannot they be used? As I remarked last year, "Why should we not as well travel in comfort ae luxury." Trusting some fellow sufferer may more ably support this contention, and assist in overcoming this grievance, and thus maifitain the popularity of the Cashmere Hills tram journey, ana thanking you, in anticipation, I agam sign myself.—Yours, etc., • STIFF NECK.
