Speed of tramway buses deemed dangerous to public
The M. and M. Tramways Board replied to Braybrook Council that the bus speed issue on the Maribyrnong Footscray route was already covered and no deputation was needed, though a meeting could be arranged if desired. Council debated awaiting developments while Dr. Parsons urged a new interview after recent accidents. Drivers favor slower speeds, a 12 mph limit, and foggy winter conditions heighten concerns about public safety.
