Welland Street Railway

[People’s Press. 9 April 1912]

              The conductors on the Welland street railway are having a great deal of difficulty in landing their passengers on South Main street, because there are no crossings in many places and there is mire a foot deep between the tracks and the walk. Several lady passengers had to be carried ashore. One of the conductors said his rule was to carry all who were not over twenty five. The conductors are obliged to place stepping stones for ladies over 25 wearing hobble skirts.
