No discordant cry of "Hurry on, please 1" has disturbed the general tranquillity of the service. There have been eagleeyed tramway men anxious to sight and wait for any distant person rushing to oatch a car. So kind and thoughtful, indeed, have been the conductors that they have occasionally allowed passengers to have free rides. Indeed, for the gentleman of leisure the service has been truly delightful, even to the gentle rocking of the car lulling him to sleep. Who is to' be thanked for all thi s thoughtfulness Y The tramwaymen or the City Council? Well, that is really a matter of opinion. Those who consider the _ tramwaymen "industrial rebels" will no doubt thank them for the ideal service, while others who are prone to view the City Council as a sweating employer will gratefully thank the.
