= AS THE TAXICAB ROBBERY NEVER TO BE STOPPED? Aldermen “Fear” It Will Be Impossible to Reduce the Present Rates. OR ABOLISH ABUSES. Proposed Ordinances Will Let Hotel Stands Have Free Use of Streets. After a year's expentive “invostiga- tion” of the taxicab abuses of New York, members of the Aldermanto Com- mittee intrusted with the work of draw. {ng up ordinances to effectually contro! the traMc and protect the citixen, an- nounced to-day that they “feared it would be Impossible to abolish the privileged private stands or to mater Ally reduce the present taxicab rates.” 3t was stated that an ordinance may be two ordinances, would shortly be sub- mitted to the Board of Aldermen rep- resenting the study and judgment of the Aldermanic Committee as to proper government of taxicab traMo tn the Metropolis. Outside of a few secondary detatis relative to meters, ieennes, lamps and speeds, there's what the Aldermen propose to recommend for the Gitizens who use taxicals: ‘The free and undisturbed enjoy- Tea | i mtinuation of a rate in ox- 60 cents for the first mile cents for each additional Decause of the “trafic our- Mew York” which compels FiEE i Outside of these considerations the pub. Me may get most of what it wants in ¢axtcab remedies. 80 far, however, the Comaiasioner of Accounts, the Chief of Me Bureau of Licenses, the Poltce De- partment and witnesses called at the feeny “hearings” of the committee have testified along two genera) directions— the privileged hack stands and the rate per mile.

Regarding the: two points, here's ‘What the committee hus learned since it Gegan its Investigations: ‘Phat Sections 60 and 51 of the Charter confer upon the Board of the power to reguiste » @flective jou.

That an investigution of this abuse by Commissioner Fowlick showed that out of 1,2 vehicles having special teense, over 900 are allowed pace room in these stands without complying with the ordinances In re« @ard to the $% fee, a situation which Jost to the clty more than $20,000 In revenue last year.
