APPRECIATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—ln this evening’s ‘ Star ’ I was very pleased to see we have one who thinks well of this beautiful city, and speaks of it and its people as he found it. Alas, we have too-many ready to cry it down, purely out of spite, because they can’t help it. Mr C. E. Knight made reference to the motormen -here on the trams. Last Saturday I' witnessed! a funeral on its way to the' Southern Cemetery, and 1 am quite safe in saying that on every tram that passed the motormen and conductors respected the dead by raising their hats while the cortege passed. I thought it such a graceful act, such as I never saw in any other town I have lived in. Even the poorestdooking man and boy did likewise as it came along the street. It was an act I Won’t forget in a hurry. I made reference of it to my friend, who said; “ Well, this is Dunedin you are living in, not the north.” And yet we hear people , moaning about our tramwaymen being so uncivil. People want to. see these little acts for themselves and speak for the place and its people as they find it.—l am, etc., May 5. M. E, Twinnino.
