PUBLIC AT MERCY OF ANY DISHONEST TAX] CHAUFFEUR en Need of Ordinance Regulating Rates Shown in Complaints of Many Patrons, ALDERMEN SHOULD ACT Law on the Subject Upset by Court, Board Has Failed to Make New One, Gince Gupreme Court Justice Bischoff Gecided against the taxicad rate ordt- Hance, proposed by the Board of Alder men, hundreds of complaints have been Fecetved of overcharges by taxi ohauffeurs. Not only have these complaints been went to city officiala but thie news iti ne H a t He Bae iH i | uffeur. He is king again. The Evening World hae again brought this matter to the attention of the olty oMicials and urged immediate steps to pass a law regulating taxicab charges which will hold in the courts, Toward this end several members of the Aldermanic Committes on Laws and Legislation, which will be responsible for the drawing up of @ proper ordi- nance, were interviewed to-day. It de- that the committee is awalting & brief from counes for i joe which will hold in law may be adopted, “We had agreed te meet objections, ye and otherwise, by making « flat ‘ate, but the companies object, saying that they will have to go out of busi- ness if the rate we proposed is estab- Mahed. We do not want to do them an Injuatics, and we ere waiting for a brief from their attorneys. But I can promise ection soon, well defined and well con- sidered.” Aldermen Frank 1, Dowling, Demo- cratia leader of the board, said: “We were knocked out in the courte on our first ordinance, but the next one will settle the question definitely. In order to meet the legal objection eet up by Justice Bischoff, we propose to make one rate to apply to all passenger car- rying vehloles in oity streets, That means leas confusion and a knowledge on the part of the pubilo which will enable patrons of taxi and other cabs to determine for themselves just what they should pay for a trip, I stand for The Kvening World suggestion that such an ordinance be enacted. It will prove ® good thing. By uniformly fixing @ rate for all classes of vehicles there can be no ‘come back’ on the score of dis- crimination. We have agreed on that aspect of the case, and the only ques- tion remaining is to fiz the uniform rate.” Other members of the committee spoke in the same vein, all expresging « de- aire to see a proper ordinance promptly aAopted. They called attention to the fect that through the work of The Evening World taxioab meters are now under official ‘imepection, and that crooked meters are quickly detected But all admit the need of an ordinance on rates which will be effective in pro- from dishonest bub- vegetable, mild and retiadle, J ore, ae x ee aa tee sey Sr Spe a, Bye oe = Blea Attar og. eral by taking RADWA 8 wal be mar the te bee te ten & "NB omit a bor. ants on by mall, RADWAY & 00, New York, PEP ale te No Deposit, 50c a Week BIG TURKISH oh Merc . $16.75 10% off if you prefer to pay cash Built for solid comfort and long use.
