A Bourke st. TRAM, now

Mr. A. G. Warner, Trans-port Minister, yesterday officially opened the new six mile, £ 1,750,000 Northcote city tram route at East Pres-

ton depot.

Four new "quiet" trams glided along the route, carry-ing 150 official guests.

Tonight the last bus will make its run and tomorrow morning at 8.01, the trams will take over — the first regular service since the cable trams stopped in 1940.
