SALE OF SWEETS

TO THE EDITOR,

Sir,— Suburban travellers have so often ventilated their complaints through your columns that I am encouraged to avail myself of your good offices on the nresent occasion. ' - Within very recent times travellers on the Lambton-Tjpper Hutt line have noted several improvements 'in the service and have even had the opportunity of observing a Railway Department. payingsome deference to the custom and convenience or the public. But m V complaint is why, after such treatmont 'the Department -should issue aji edict "as I believe it has done, to tho effect that chocolates and sweets may no longer bo sold at tho Lambton Station stall and so put _an end to a practice that has been carried on for years, and has been much appreciated and used by travellers on the line. Were there refreshment rooms on the station, whose trade might be interfered with the ma,tter could be understood butin the present circumstances the ruling appears rather needless, and somewhat annojtmpr to habitual travellers on the line. —I am,. etc., t n SEASON TrciTJET. 17th October.
