Lamb, it Was decided to call the attention of the Borough Council to the danger fom sand drift of the grass plot adjoining the surf pavilion, and to request that some protection be provided. Mr F. J. L. Scott drew the attention of the meeting to the inconvenience caused to casual tram passengers who wished to take a No 10 tram from Cathedral square to Ascot or Park road. At present thera was no way of telling whether a tram connected with a bus at Burwood or not, and cases were known where womenfolk had been left at Burwood to wait for half an hour or more for & bus. It was decided, on the motion of Mr Scott, to write to the Tramway Board pointing out this difficuitv, and suggesting that a definite sign be placed on the No. 10 cars which connected with buses for Park road junction, similar to the signs displayed on t'na No. 5 cars which went to Park road.
