TAXL STANDS ARE OPPOSED Monopoly of Parking Places Downtown Is Scored Seattle streets are being monopo- lized by taxi cabs and for-hire cars, to the exclusion of the private auto- mobify owner, ft was charged at the hearing by the city council public safety committee on the new traffic ordinange Wednesday. Whole sections of gtrests have been “bought" by the taxi com- owners. Police asaivt the taxi men {n mo- nopolizing these highways, it was charged. Conflicting interests and ‘recom: mendations on the traffic situation so bewildered the committee that it was decided to indefinitely postpone action on the proposed ordinan which would abolish parking in the business sections, MERCHANTS OPPOSE NO-PARKING PLAN A committee of merchants, headed by Otto Grunbaum, of Grunbaum Bros., and Harold Moore, secretary of the retail trade department of the chamber of commerce, offered vigor- ag protests to the plan, They want the present ordinance enforced strictly. George F. Russel, as chairman of the board of public works, the spon- sor of the ordinance, came to its de- fense and said that the adoption of | the ordinance would mean more bus!- ness for the retail merchants instead of less business. Chief of Police William B. Sev- eryns said he needs ten-more traffic men to properly patrol the streets and keep traffic moving. Chief Sev- eryns was backed up by Inspector Harry O’Brien and Sergt. Frank Fu- qua of the traffic detail. Douglas Shelor, secretary of the Automobile club, urged strict enforce- ment of the present traffic laws, the employment of more men to accom- plish this and the tabling of the new ordinance, J. H. Curran, speaking for the Bullding Owners’ association, oppos- @d the ban on down-town parking, ‘and supported the enforcement of the existing traffic rules. TAXI COMPANIES: MONOPOLIZE SPACE ‘Taxicabs and for-hire cars came in for general condemnation, as it jy chimed they are “hogging” whole sections of the city streets. The or- dinance proposed elimination of uso of the streets for parking by the taxicabs. * Taxicab proprietors opposed the move, declaring it would be a back- ward step. Several cities have tried the experiment and failed, Taggart sald, ag taxis are necessary to bus! ness, f It was charged that the stands at the Hotel Washington cost the taxi men $250 a month. An entire block is completely dedicated to the taxis, and private cars are not even permitted to drive up to the curb there, it was said, The rent money goex to the hotel, which collects it hy monopolizing streets owned by the city, The committec, which |s headed by Councilwoman Bertha Landes, wil! withhold action on the proposed ordinance until the subject has been thoroly threshed out, ving | Venizelos, Greek } has gone to Parts} It} i work and se “Popol > d'Italia led the ft F all over the ec hundreds of These Fasct spread and demoditiged soldte under the Paactat!

TOURIST TRAFFIC TO BREAK RECORD “Tourist traffic to the Northwest this year will surpass all previous years,” Budd said. “We are pre paring to accommodate the greatest Influx of tourists in our history. “The Dempsey-Gibbons fight at Shelby, Mont, will draw Easterners to this section who have never been ‘West before, I think Seattle should take the opportunity offered by at- tracting these visitors on to the Puget Sound country from the fight. “The Great Northern is building some wide track at Shelby to ac- commodate sleeping cars, but we have extensive yards at Cutbank,! near Shelby, where we can accom. the Pullman coaches during time they stay in Shelby.” HIS IDEA OF CUTTING OUT CAR SHORTAGE Budd said that the supply of re- frigerator and freight cars that will be available this year will be larger than ever before in the history of! the road. The annual car shortage which occurs every harvest time, Budd believes, can only be elimin- ated by the development of a mar- keting system that will release the produce eventy thruout the year. “It would be a costly and waste. ful thing’ to build a railroad large enough to cirry away the full har vests of the Northwest as soon as the crops are taken from the fields,” Budd sald. “It would require an enormous equipment that would lay idle thru the balance of the year.” Labor conditions on the railroads are quiet and carriers are expecting & season of prosperous business.
