By: Anderson, Martin, 1854-1932; Cynicus Publishing Company Ltd
Reference: Eph-A-TRAM-Wellington-1908-01
Description: Postcard shows a couple of harrassed parents walking with their five crying children. The father is grimly pushing a pram filled with suitcases, packages and other possessions. The text implies that the only way to get to South Karori was by walking, the "car" being the pram. The verso has a handwritten message dated 18 December 1908. The picture on the postcard was a generic cartoon by British cartoonist "Cynicus", applied to the local situation. In November 1907, as reported in the Evening Post for 11 November 1907, page 2, a petition was being circulated, with the following wording: "We, the undersigned residents, ratepayers, and citizens of tha city of Wellington, residing on the western portion of Kelburne, in Upper Taitville, in Highbury, and in the portion of the Borough of Karori recently amalgamated with the city, respectively petition your council to extend the Aro-street tramway, which at present terminates at a very unsatisfactory point, to the end of Norway-street, at the foot of the zigzag connecting such street with the main road from Te Aro to Karori (known generally as the Cemetery -road). Your petitioners desire to point out that such tramway extension will not only be a great convenience to the district referred to, which at present is not properly served by a tramway, but will also tend greatly to make the Aro-street section a better paying one than it is at present." The Evening Post of 27 July 1909, page 7, reports that the loan to extend the tramway to South Karori has been approved. Quantity: 1 colour photo-mechanical print(s).
