TRAMWAY MANNERS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I would like to remark on .the way the people rush to got a seat on the tram cars. They simply fall over one another to get on the cars, regardless whether they do harm or not. 1 have had occasion to ride once or twice, but 1 would sooner walk than go on them, as one never knows whether one will bo able to go homo or be taken to the hospital. I think precautions should he taken so that when a person does get on the car he should do it carefully, not rush, especially at dinner time and evening, as some time ago I saw a child thrown into the back seat so that tho mother should secure a seat One cannot blame the motorman or conductor, ns they are very careful, but it is the people who do not look what they are doing, and as long as they get a foothold that is all that matters. There have been one or two accidents, and still the people practise the careless, mad rush. An elderly lady has been seriously hurt. Surely something can be done.—l am, etc., February 8. Sufferer.
