TRAMWAY SHELTER.

to titb BDiToa or th» muss . J Sir, —I have been much Interested in 1 fee Square controversy; and there has j ton a lot of unnecessary expense and HlMling in connexion with itl I have tgg-t quiet looker-on for years, and j' true saying that the looker-on Ba the game. many yean I lived out of town, ' ai frequently gat my tram at the Bank it Stw Zealand corner. I very nel- ; isn v&9 able to get a seat in the tram iWter—in fact, I preferred to stand, u tie shelter was/occupied all day by tH-men mostly, smoking and gossip--o}. It was pleasanter outside than i*_ JTow I live in town, and pasß (frnrogh the Square every day more £caa oaee. The shelter in the Square «eni just a resting-place for men and wmea -toho have nothing to do bujt sit «»4 gossip; I have seen the same people there for more than an hour; one I saw two women sitting on one if the comer seats in the Square gossping, and one was knitting. . When I put again some time afterwards ttoy were still there. X maintain that the so-called tram*»T shelters were not put up for this of thing. Thay are quite unneces«JT- T&era are plenty of stoppingpwa for people who use the trams, rtirt nm frequently. Parcel and •flfff offices required could be found Jttr the Square, and I believe this has •Ma done; ,J n "7 ease- the tram shelters are a Jrat.on the landscape, and should never «te been put where they are. We w « a great deal to those men and Jwaea who have fought for their abolitoa.~Toars, etc., v OBSERVER.! Aoveaber 19th, 1930.
