VOLUME 52..... ccc ceeseeees | TELL THE ALDERMEN! | F" THOUSAND PER CENT. in ten years! | ceeveeesNO, 18,528 That is the jump of motor car manufacturing in this/ country, according to figures published by the Department of | Commerce and Labor. Automobile factories have in most cases been enlarged several | times during the period. The demand for American cars abroad is increasing. Automobiles of better quality than ever before are being shipped by trainloads to satisfy domestic demand. A Philadelphia expert points out that in twelve years the mann- facture of motor vehicles has risen to the third piace of importance among the industries of this country. Twelve years ago some 8,000 motor care were in use. To- they number over 650,000. During the year 1911 the output of pleasure cars reached 790 per day. At present one maker alone is said to be turning out 10,009 care a month, or one complete car every eighty-one seconds! Of late years the use of commercial cars—trucks, delivery wagons, etc.—has increased by leaps and bounds. Estimates place the production of this class for the current year at 30,000 vehicles. What does all this mean? It means that, like the bicycle and the typewriter before it, thc motor car has dropped from heights of costliness and luxury an/ become & common and widely used convenience. It means that, like the railroad, the telephone and the telegraph. the automobile has come to be regarded es a natural aid and contriv- ater in the transaction of everyday business. It means that the application of the motor car to the needs and | comforts of metropolitan life has already been made and is now going | to be developed and exploited just as fast as enterprising corporations | ean see profit in making it popular. The first great step in the popularization of the automobile is bound to be the cheapening and broadening of city taxicab service. | That is where the automobile touches the average “man-in-the-street” who has no private car. If there be this enormous output of automobiles in this country: | if, as the Fifth Avenue Commission contends, “the original cost of | building taxicabs is not much less in London than here, the chauffeurs | are as well if not better paid than here, while gasoline is more ex-| pensive there than here”; if these things be true, why isn’t the New York “man-in-the-street” due to get a little of the benefit of this stu- pendous development of the automobile? Why should a rate of $1.00 a mile here put the taxi out of his reach when “everybody's doing it” in London for sixteen cents? How many New Yorkers who have been abroad say: “We always vre taxis in Furope. Everybody does. They're so cheap and good. But of curse we never dream of taking one ir New York. We couldn't afford it.” Only the other day a judge on the Supreme Court bench of this ‘Btate, in passing upon a dispute between taxi companies, advised the public to drive its bargains with taxicab chauffeurs in advance and added dryly: | “I don’t use taxicabs myself because the exorbitant fares would | @eon land me in the bankruptcy court!” New York js ten years behind other capitals in this respect. | The Aldermen promise to give public hearings in the next fow | days to all sides of the taxicab question. Here is a chance for the citizens of New Yurk to show whether they are really interested to get their due of fairness and convenience If you have been overcharged, if you have paid $1.20 to ride from | Govoriehi, 1912, by The Pres Pubishing 02, Twenty-third street to Fiftieth street and then found that it oost | LMR FES $1.60 to ride back from Fiftieth street to Twenty-third street; if you 66 have heen cheated and insulted by chauffeurs; if you have failed to! find cabs at convenient places; if you have been driven in dirty, rickety care by obviously incompetent drivers; if you have become disgustud and stopped riding in taxis, or if because of the preposterous charges you have never ridden at all—take this chance to state your case and prove that you and thousands like you would be only too glad to ride in taxicabs at reasonable rates and under safe regulations. Remember: Motor vehicles are being turned out better, cheaper, in greater quantities than ever before. For commercial purposes they are out | of the high luxury class.
