TRAMWAY RECEIPTS.
; ' , -♦ —' — ' DECREASE EACH DAY. • The tramway receipts tor the first three days of Carnival Week have • shown a decrease each day, compare'- ' with the cor responding day of last year, [ with a total decrease of £241." On Mopday the receipts were £45 less than on Derby Day last year. A detailed comparison of the receipts • over the two periods is as follows:
F Questioned yesterday about the dec crease, an authority said: "'There are ,• three main causes —first., . the fact that l there is less money about and fener 1 people" are in the City' for Carnival. . Week; second, the large number of pi'i-
rate motor-cars in use; third, the perfect billiard-table roads that are being bur] t—to the cost of which the Tramway Board is contributing more than its fair share—with the result that the man with a bicycle rejoices. It must lie remembered that the figures show the receipts for the whole of the City, and not for the race-cars alone."
