OVERCROWDED TRAMCARS.

To the Editor, of the "Norta-Cuina Dairy News."

Boys, men, and now women hang on by their eyebrows to the outside of the cars. Few of them pay because the patient and harassed' and hard-worked. conductor cannot. reach them for the crowd inside. However, the Company's loss is its own business and I am not a shareholder.

What seems to me to call for stringent measures is the loading.
