LETTER TO THE EDITOR
TIDINESS AND,WASTE
Sir, —Citizens are asked not to throw tram or bus tickets on the streets, but what of those travelling where there are no receptacles? In London, in 1937, I noticed attached at bus exits tin containers for used tickets. These were about 12 inches across, 18 inches deep, and open at the top, this width being about two inches. On my return I gave this information to the local tramways manager, and later the chairman of the Tramways Committee, and since then his successor, but without avail. Surely, it is just as important for suburbs to be kept tidy as it is for city streets! Besides, paper is urgently needed at the present time for munitions. In a recent English magazine appears this slogan: “Every paper scrap saved is worth a banknote.” I sincerely hope, therefore, that the Tramways Committee will have used ticket containers attached to exits of all buses.—l am etc., Be Tidy and Save Papers,
