By Commissioner Wallace. The Bureau of Licenses is continually recelving complaints such as this one, received from @ member of the Univ elty Club: Dear Sir: I took a taxicab at the northwest corner ot Seventh and Fiftteth street at 11 and drove to Forty-fifth street, be- tween Sixt! and Seventh avenues, a isi ot five blocks. I was chargged $1, which tn spite of my Protestations was declared the right- ful charge by the driv Then follows a stron against the alleged overcharge, ° Now, as a matter of fact, upon in- vestigation we found in this case, as we do in many others, that the automobile eab which was hired by this gentleman did not carry a meter anu was licensed 4s a public coach seating four persons inside. The ordinance gives the legal rates of fare, which according to eec- tion 319 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of New York are as follows: Coaches (vehicles seating four persons inside), one mile or any part thereof. Each additional part thereof ... ; So you see that in this case the gen-| tleman was charged $1 for going five Vlocks, He could lawfully have been charged $1 for going two blocks or one dlock if he rode in @ public coach, as the ordinances specifically state they may charge at the rate of $1 for the | first mile or any part thereof and 50 cents for each additional half mile. APPLICATION OF OLD COACH RATES. These are the old cab and coach rates, | | halt’ mile or which were not Intended to apply to} taxicabs and meter vehicles, but which | are the only rates that can now be applied to them, as if they: were not | regulaied under these rates they would be without any rate regulation what- soever and could charge as much as they plegsed, Many persons still labor under the a luaion tha «1 maximum ra’ which we: for taxicabs un- section ‘ode of Ordinances of the of New York are still in force. seating four persons inside, driven by | motive power, and were 40 cents for the first half mile and 10 cents for each | additional quarter of a mile, ‘This made the rate 69 cents for the first mile and 40 cents for cach succeeding mile. Many persons, as I say, think these rates | sti prevail and are in full force and vigor. As a matter of fact they were declared preme Court some time ago. Another thing that makes It difMcult to regulate the conduct of taxtcab drivers in the city of New York ts the fact that under the present license or- Ginance licenses are being Issued and are expiring every day. Licenses may be issued at any time and run for a year from the date of issuance. When you consider that New York covers ap- proximately #26 square miles of terrl- tory !t !s possible for a man, even after his Hcense has been revoked, to go out and ply his trade on the streets with- out any license, under present condi- tions. CHANGE IN THE HACK ORDI- NANCE NEEDED. ‘The remedy for this is a change tn the Hack ordinance, All leenses for hacks and cabs should expire on a cer- tain date, say Jan. 1 of every year. The vehicles licensed for the current year should have some distinguishing mark fastened on the dashboard of each vehicle~say, for instance, a circle for the year 1912, a triangle for 1913, a cross for 19, &v., just as the State resis- tration sicenses are now designated by change of color every year, ‘The drivers’ licenses should expire On the same date as the vehicle icenses and the driver should be provided with a badge simi- lar in shape to the insignia fastened on the cab or coach, but smaller; these Dadges to be worn at all times when on duty and to contain the driver's num- | Roberts. \facts protestation | These rates were for taxicabs | y, unconstitutional by the Su-| Dr. ber Doth the licenses of the drivers and of the venicles themselves up to date, ‘Then any p , any inspector of of Licenses or any elttzen licen along the street couid tell or not any public hack was Ucensed for the current year, With Vigilance you could keep unlicensed @vivers from plying thelr trade in the sireet, This would help tmmensely in disciplining t sed drivers, aa they would realize that to lose thelr license would mean to lose their which 1s not nezessarily, the case at the prerent time.

The symptoms of grip this year are very dis- tressing and leave the system in a run down condition, particularly the kidneys, which seem to sufler most, as every vic- tim complains of lame back and urinary troubles, which should not be neglected as these danger signals often lead to more ious sickness, such as dreaded Bright's Disease. Local druggists report a lar, sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, whieh so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and, being an herbal compound, has a'gentie healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost iearaediasely noticed by those who try Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., offer to send a ple bottle of Swamp- Root, free by mail, to every sufferer who requests it. A trial will convince any one who may be in need of it. Regular size bottles 50 cts. and 81.00.
