COMPLAINTS FROM TAINUI The Tramway Committee of the City Council reports:—‘‘ln a letter from the Tainui Progress League complaint is made regarding the unsuitability of the present traipway time-table for the residents of the Tainui district. The complainants ask that “specials” be mil at five-minute intervals between the ordinary time-table, thus giving a five-minute service between 7.30 and 8.45. a.m . “The committee reports that the general practice of running relief oars immediately ahead of the. time-table cars is adopted on the Anderson’s Bay line, and from a tally taken it has been found that the loading is exceptionally well distributed over the relief and time-table cars. The suggestion ipade by the league to run an oven service would result in the relief cars tunning practically empty, while the tiiue-table cars would be unduly overloaded. Under the circumstances, therefore, the committee is unable to approve of the suggested alteration, and has advised the league to such #ffect.’i
