In the crowd that greeted Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman and their “comrades” was Zorien, member of the all soviet execu- tive committee, who after a brief conference with Berkman, agreed to permit the whole party to enter Bolshevik Russia. “There is no question that work according to their profession feed them well.” TAXI ORDINANCE TOSTANO UNTIL, COST (5 SHOWN Council Authorizes Enforcement until March | as Test Period While Drivers Make Strict Accounting The old question"6f taxicab rates and the proper Jicensing and regulation of taxicab service in Casper occupied the attention last night of the city coun- ceil from about 11 until 1 o'clock this morning. Finaily when he discussion continued until the wee small hours of the morn- ing, Councilman Van Gorden made the suggestion which finally terminated the debate on rates. He suggested that the taxicab drivers try out the ordinance until March 1; keep an accurate record of all fares and expenditures, and pre- sent their statement to the council in March if they felt they were not’ mak- ing money. “You have presented a certified state- ment taken from the accounts of one driver. Everybody in the council will give you a fair deal if the average fig- ure shows Sou are not making money on a 25-cent or maximum 60-cent hauls.” Mayor Pelton said that was what he had told the taxicab union's represen- tative before the council meeting and had suggested practically the same so- lution of the problem. Comparisons with Denver and other city rates brot forth the remark from Councilman Van Gorden that people here was interested not in what fit- ted Denver but what applied to Cas- per. “You can't set the rate on the state- ment of one particular tax! driver,” he said. “To be fair. you must have state- ments from several.” The certified statement presented by the union claimed that it cost about 54 cents a mile to run a Cadillac taxi- cab. Depreciation of 33% per cent a year was allowed, making the life of a| Cadillac three years. An overhead ex- pense amounted to $611. Councilman Boyle, who is familiar | with the taxicab and automobile bus-} iness, said that this overhead figure was far too high. He suggested that there might be more profit here if there were fewer taxicabs operating in Casper. One taxicab driver said he considered the bond required to be fair.
