ON THE TRAMS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —“Regular Passenger” is no doubt quite correct that the Tramway Officials are most courteous and obliging as a rule. But lam not sure that he is justified in saying that the Town Olerk has gone “too far.” Now, sir, I have frequently heard it stated of late, with what truth I am unable to say. that a new disease is affecting those whose duties necessitate being continually on trams. This disease is very easily diagnosed. The t firs symptom is the loss of memory of the individual, ten days or a fortnight being the longest period that bis memory is of any use to him. After that “he has no knowledge of anything you may inquire about.” It will be most instructive to watch developments especially in the case of evidence offered at coroners’ inquests or Magistrate’s or Supreme Court® if this disease becomes chronic. —I am, etc. ANOTHER. PASBENGHR.
