SLOW TRAMCARS.
Sir,—Returning to Auckland on holiday after 18 months in Wellington, I have been delighted with the beauty and charm of your city. But there is one thing—your lazy trams. They crawl along, whether streets are empty or full, at tlio same funereal pace. Auckland is a far-flung city, the distances are long, but the trams do not help to bridge them as quickly as they might. How can your trams hope to compete with their handier rivals—light motor-cars —if they don't get a move on. If Mr. Ford would make it a rule to travel to and from his office by tram every day I am sure he would soon cut a minute or two minutes off the taken 011 each section between the city and Remuera and then apply the same speeding-up process to the other routes. Visitor.
