THE LIMIT ON PRAMS
TRAMWAY RULING
LEFT FAR FROM HOME
A correspondent, "Civility Costs I Little," complains of the great inconvenience to which his wife and two young children were subjected by a tram conductor who refused to take a pram on his car. As a result it had to be left at a nearby residence and be called for next day. What was particularly annoying was that on the outward journey of four sections no question was raised, and thus the mother and children were carried outwards happily enough, but came home miserable. The department, the correspondent considers, should state definitely what size prams may or may not be carried on trams and not leave the matter to be decided by a conductor. The tramway department has made the decision suggested by the writer, and publicity of that decision was given in "The Post." It was that after April 1 the maximum measurements of prams and push-carts which would be carried on tram platforms should be 33in long, 20-Jin wide, and 23in in depth. These limit measurements, of course, refuse platform space to all non-folding prams, but allow most types of folding prams and pushchairs.
