Tramway Ordinance

Under a bill which in to be tread before the Legislative

Council today for the first

time, amending the Tramway Ordinance of 1902, fines ali- thorised by Sect. 37 of the or dinance will now not exceed $100 (instead of $10), with or without further penalties for continuing offences of $50 (instead of $5):

The rest of the bill brings various provisions of the ori- ginal ordinance more in keeping with the times.

The current fares of 20 and 10 cents now cover "from any point on the tramway to the terminus

the indicated on tramcari. e. it will now ng longer be possible for a Shauki wan passenger to travel parl of the way on a Happy Valley tram and then change to the tram he should have boarded originally.
