SEATOUN WAITING SHED

TO TB« BDIIOB.

Sir,—l wish to draw attention to th« danger the Seatoun tram terminus waiting shed is to motor traffic. Already. ,there have been several narrow escapes of collision. Recently one of the shops lost a verandah post through a motorlorry knocking it down. Now that th« Government has a grave? pit at the end of the main street heavy, lorries coma up at their full speed passing the shed to take the rise to the tunnel, While th» small cars coming from beach or ■'. bay" seem to have no .way of looking or signalling to each other. Four streets meet here;:and I am afraid a serious smash will occur at any moment." ThY correct solution is to shift-the terminus" where it may be possible\ to ' secure a vacant section, or do without the shelter shed altogether. The waiting shed is used but Jittle by .the- residents; as-thera are good; verandahs all round and! a good tram service now. All tha structure is good for is for the conveniences; which should be underground anywhera but where it is. In my opinion the finest road in Seatoun is spoilt by iha ■waiting shed.—l am, etc., ' ".
