ACCIDENTS WITH TRAMS.
More Warning at Corners Urged by Speaker.
When Mr C. E. Jones was commenting- at a meeting of the Christchurch Tramway Board this morning on the number of accidents involving the trams during June, he suggested that ffiotormen should sound their gongs more at intersections. There had been complaints, he said, that sufficient warning was not given. A report stated that during June there were 18 accidents involving trams, twelve of them being collisions with motor vehicles.
Mrs Elizabeth M’Combs said there had also been complaints at the amount of gonging indulged in by motormen at intersections. “ I think they use the gong sufficiently,” she said.
The general manager (Mr Frank Thompson) said that if the board’s employees had been at fault the board would have heard from the motorists’ solicitors.
