STOPPING BEHIND TRAMS
IS PRACTICE DANGEROUS? A MELBOURNE OPINION Melbourne motorists still enjoy the privilege of not being compelled to pull up behind stationary trams. The Tramways Employees’ Association of the Victorian capital, however, intends to ask all councils to frame by-laws similar to that in Richmond (a suburb), against cars passing stationary trams, said the Mayor of Richmond (Councillor Murphy) at a recent co"neil meeting. The discuss’ arose on the receipt of a letter from the Richmond branch of the A.L.P., complaining that the by-law compelling motor-cars to stop behind stationary tramcars was dangerous. Motormen and conductors were forced to hurry passengers on and off, and start too quickly, leaving them open to serious accidents, the letter vateu. Councillor Loughnan said that the law regarding cars passing stationary trams was disregarded. The majority of councillors disagreed with the opinions expressed in the A.L.P.’s letter.
