TRAMS AND THE FUTURE.
TO IBS • BDITOB OV "THK rB889." Sir,—As to all-this harangue about railway fares, etc., and each side slanging the other, ia it-not possible that the Tramway Board may be in the same position as the poor'old roan in the mill? For years and years he had ground the corn for all ant sundry, by windmill alone, and then some friend set up a. steam mill. One of Daudet's fables, I think, but ;Obiter Dicta could tell you the whole fable. He seems to know everything). But Daudct proved without doubt that everything in Nature matures, blossoms . and dies, and tram tracks must sooner or later give way to petrol—perhaps later, to wireless. So- is it not better for. both sides to face -the fact and prepare, .and not quarrel?— Yours, etc., JUST AN ONLOOKER.
