CORRESPONDENCE.
AUCKLAND TRAMCARS* ' * TO THE EDITOR. '.. ' ' Sir,—That the tram cars are a great public boon no sane person will deny. The drivers, however, are often annoyed' by express drivers remaining on the -rails till the very last moment for avoiding a collision also, by the hoodlums filling up the grooves in the rails so as to throw the car* off the line. For the benefit of the public may I be allowed to suggest that the drivers of the tramcari be furnished with more powerful whistle!, and that the back of the guard's fence be raised at least a foot or eighteen inches, so at to prevent passengers from falling over when the cars start, otherwise, sooner or. later, some -poor follow will be jolted over with* broken neck or back.—l am, &c, AMICUS.
