The value of the life-guards fitted to the trams in Christchurch was stressed by' the General Manager, Mr Frank Thompson, to-day. Mr Thompson referred to the accident on Sunday when
a man’s life was undoubtedly saved by the life-guard, and said that from time to time the device averted fatalities. The life-guard consists of a light steel tray which is allowed to drop to the rails when any object strikes the gate hanging in front of it.
