CARS, ENGINEER, AND COUNCIL TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, — 1 have to thank you for frequently endorsing our complaints in re those narrow-step and high-step cars. I desire to ask. through your columns, why does the electrical engineer persist in the manufacture of this type of car? And why does he not etfect some improvement in those already in use ? I further ask, why do not the Mayor and council sec that some relief is afforded to. the public under this grievous affliction? I have a stiong suspicion that the council is too weak to assert itself against the conservatism and so-called impossibilities of some of its executive officers. If so, we, as ratepayers, have a remedy : we must at next election remove tli? whole ineffective lot — a lot which permits the breaking of its own bylaws, allows vested interests to intervene in the procedure for a markethouse, and, generally, as far as my observation goes, is too prone to pander to tho wealthy speculator and builder. — I am, etc., old ratepayer. Wellington South, 20th Feb., 1908.
