SOME NOVAL FEATURES. Shanghai possesses some advantages over other cities for the operation of a tramways. service; ibs fatness of the Settlement elimin. the principal cause of tramway accidents

But there are drawbacks also." The warrow.. ress of the streets has necessitated the lay- ing of a barrow-gauge line, and consequently there will not be passenger accommodation on the top of the rams. Then there are no precedents to guide the "administration in inaugurating the service. This will lead to the introduction of sume novel festures: For in sance, the tram-routes have been livided into numbered sections, and the tickets, instead of bearing the names of the termini on each route, will merely bear numbers corresponding to these sections... The same tickets will be used
