CITY TRAMWAY TICKETS.

XO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Being an old resident of this City for over forty-five years, and having seen most of the improvements that have taken place during that period, I am at a loss to ■understand the latest 6c-called improvement —the City trams and the manner in which they are run. Surely the travelling public, or ratepayers (who own the cars), will not permit of the sale of tickets to be confined to four shops only. In the first place, two of these are on the wrong side of the road, another is over a crossing from the Jprincipal part of the town, and the fourth is out of the way, and consequently no good whatever. For instance, take people coming from MoTnington or Roslyn. They wil 1 ihave to cross the road to obtain tickets. The north end people will have to walk a considerable distance to obtain tickets, and as far as the south end people are concerned, they will have two miles to walk before they can get them. I consider that from Bull's corner to Scott's, in Princes street, the most prominent and convenient places for the sale of tickets in the City, and am surprised that someone in that block was not selected. I never heard of anything so absurd as the present arrangement for the purpose of a triaL—l am, etc., An Old Resident. July ».
