THE MORNINGTON TRAMWAY.
to tSe editor. , . Sm,— The correspondence which ** your paper some time ago respecting the working the Momington tram* with°aly °“0 man to both drive and collect necessitates the tram running withouti anyone in charge of the grip handle while heUeng*«ea collecting fares from the passengers brought to mind on Saturday afternoon, whenft boy who was playing on the road at the l Belt narrowly escaped being run over byte 2.10 pm. tram. Had the man in charge Men collecting faros at the time nothing con!ld have prevented the boy from being killed, as the tram was close upon him when it was brought to a standstill. It was felt by every passenger on the tram at the time that such a dangerous system of working these trams should not ne oontinu r d. 1 here would just be as much sense in starting the horse-tram with only one man to both drive and collect the fares, leaving the horses to do just as they pleased whilst he was going round for the fares.—l am, etc., 6 DANGER. Dunedin, March 20.
