OVERHEAD CABLE FALLS
TRAM SERVICE INTERRUPTION. WELLINGTONIANS WALK TO WORK. (By Telegraph— Press Association.) WELLINGTON. To-dav. The overhead cable on one of the tramlines fell at 8.40 this morning, treating a large number of people to a kind of fireworks display until power was shut off. The tram rails were marked in several places and the bitumen surface was scorched. Tram traffic was held up for fifteen minutes, and hundreds of people finished the journey to work by going on foot, the earlier delay having occurred through a tram missing the points at Manners Street.
