OUR TRAMWAY'S.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l quite agree with "Citizen," in your issue on the 16th, that it is annoying to be put off a car. What for ? To please a few citizens who are called "councillors." Sir, it is a disgraoe and a scandal to this fair City of ours for visitors who come here to enjoy themselves to be deprived of a ride in our trams through not being able to find a seat. It is not the inspectors who are to blame, for if they do not do their duty others will. As the races and other holidays are comingon, I think that the by-law ought to be repealed, or else some of the councillors or their friends be removed from the car they endeavor to take, and be compelled to wait or walk. The cars are a public convenience, and it is the councillors' place to do all in their power to help them on, instead of hindering them. Hoping that something will be done in conuection with this matter —I am, etc., Citizen No. 2. Dunedin, February IS.
