Tramways in Shanghai

To the Editor of the Norra-Cumva Dany News.

Str,—The leading article in this morn-"Daily News can hardly be called an impartial consideration of the matter treated, The resolution which was carried at the meeting of Ratepayers in March last yeat in no way bound the Ratepayers to accept any system of Tramways at all The resolution left it to the Council to consider the expediency of the establishment of a system of tramways in the streets of the Settlement and in its discretion to formulate a scheme for ratification by the Ratepayers, by which the system bbe carried into effect." appears to me that those people who on Tuesday next desire to go into the question of expediency will not be deterred therefrom by the threat that they will be Inughed at by the Tenderers.

Tam, ete.,
