SUBURBAN TRAINS

TO THE EDITOR i I Sir,— Being present at •n, meeting in Khandallah the other night, hold for the purpose of trying to get a more frequent and faster train service for the borough, I realised what a drawback that train service is, both , in Blowness and running to time. If the .present Minister is of tho same opinion as tho late Minister for Railways—that a faster service cannot bo got owing to the steep grade of tho linethen why not ask him to have rescinded the Bill that prohibits us from having * tram service. Where is tho justice in saying it is impossible to give you tho one, and wo won't give you the other? I ask the people, are you going to bo shut out like tho people in the backblockß and pay tho rates you are paying? Whore would there be a better or more pleasanter ride in a tram car than up tho Victoria-road, which overlooks the harbour tho whole way from Kaiwarra to Khandallah? Ngaio could be easily served by bridging the ravine between Wadeetown and Ngaio, and so make that a more pacing section. I am, ctc.j R. W. DINGWALL. Kaiwarra, 6th May.
