TRAMS AND THEIR OBLIGATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —After reading the ‘ Road Code ’ one wonders if it is not the people who exist for the trams instead of the trams existing for the people. The word “ tram is • not used in the ‘ Road Code ’ except when some obligation is being imposed upon pedestrians _or motorists. Pedestrians and motorists are regulated into straitjackets, but trams appear to be as free as the air. Not a single obligation is imposed upon them. Tins is not fair, as all who use the highway should know where their respective responsibilities begin and end. Trams are surely not given rights to use the streets without some oblige tions being imposed upon them. No ‘ Road Code ’ which is silent on »this point is worthy of the name.—l am, etc., Per Boot. November 15.
