QUERIES FOR CANDIDATES (L.C.C.)
(What they may come to.)
As the County Council now has power over the Tramways of London, will you pledge yourself to see that smoking carriages, comfortable cushions, waiting-rooms at street-corners, and constant civility, are provided for passengers?
Will you abolish the irritating and nefarious Ticket System?
How long do you think it will be before the electric light is universally established in the cars?
What is your view as to the provision of suitable places for wet umbrellas?
Will you at once vote for "Free or Assisted Locomotion"?
If a wheel of your private carriage comes off owing to skidding in the Tramway line, will you pledge yourself not to bring any claim for compensation against the Rates?
Will you vote for the summary dismissal of any Conductor who proceeds to count the passengers after being informed that he is "full inside"?
