TRAMWAY BOARD POLICY
Sir,—The deputy-chairman of the Tramway Board tells you that the electors have twice approved the proposals. Actually it was the loan, not the proposals, that was approved last year, with the support of both parties, as the only way out of the mess which the Labour members had brought about and on the distinct understanding that the proposals were to be reviewed. The other “approval” (at the 1948 election) was, to put it bluntly, obtained by false statements, part of what “The Press” called "the dishonesty of the Labour Party’s electioneering." The deputy-chairman says, too, that the Labour members will not change their attitude unless shown where the plan is wrong. Very well then, I challenge them to release the previous expert report in which exactly that was shown, and which therefore they deliberately suppressed. Now watch just how they dodge doing so.—Yours, etc., REMEMBER NOVEMBER. September 26, 1951.
