John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 21 June 1924:        PUSH-CARTS AND TRAMS              TO THE EDITOR.   Sir,—Half-past two, and just about to board a tram to town, a conductor called out to me: “Madam, you cannot lake your push-chair on this car.” Well, Mr. Editor, rather than take a ride to town on business and leave my push-chair at any old place, I decided to return home. Tramway authorities in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wellington</a> want to wake up and adopt the Christchurch system of collapsible carriers fitted to the trams for this purpose.
