CAUTION NEEDED.
Introduction of Faster Tram Services. The experiment of the Tramway Board in providing a faster and more frequent service on the Papanui-llills route was the subject of interesting comment by the chairman, the Rev J. K. Archer, at to-day’s meeting of the board. “We are frequently approached.” said Mr Archer. “ by people who ask for quicker and more ample services. The board would like to oblige them where possible, but we have to be guided by the results of the experiments we carry out “ This experiment was tried on the service from Papanui to the Hills. Perhaps the experiment has not been long enough in operation, but it has been going sufficiently long to provide a warning; for while the innovation has attracted more passengers, it has not yet proved profitable on the figures. I am inclined to think that it will pav eventuallv, but till the position is definite we should proceed with caution.”
