CITY SHOULD CONTROL. “Ht Is All Bosh That Conditions Are So Different,” Asserts ‘ A. Joltrain, By Sophie Irene Loeb. PARIS, Oct. 21.—Mr. A, Joltrain is CHIEF OF THE PARIS TRANSPORTATION AND TAXI RATE EXPERT. concerned to be the mort noted author | iJ ity in Europe on public conveyances, being chief of all Paris transportation from horses to aeroplanes and has given forty years to this service. He {s hailed as a public benefactor, having kept rates down for the benefit of the people and for this was decorated by the Legion of Honor, I had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Joltrain ©n the taxicab situation. When I spoke ofvour rates he threw up his hands and said, “Why do you allow such rates In your country? Taxicabs here are com- m@n carriers the same as street care and their rates must be regulated by the Government. “The whole matter here 1s within the Jurisdiction of the Police Department. ‘fhe Government settles the rate ques- ren the benoft of the public at a ble rate of profit ¢o the com- Pittnere are three distinct classes of cabe in Paris, and these are indicated reepectively by blue, red and white taxi- moter flags, ‘The biue flag indicates the lowest tariff, and is practically the same a8 that in force for horse drawn cabs; the red flag is indicative of the interme- diate tariff, and is employed by all the late companies; the white flag implies the highest pricc. “But mark you," continued Mr, Jol- train, “the rates of the entire three com- panies are placed in a conspicious place in each cab. They all start at the same initial rate, fifteen cents for a half mile or over and thirteen cents tor each suc- ceeding quarter or one-fifth mile, each differing a little es to the number of Yards it operates. But they approximate the rate of thirteen and one-half cents ber running mile and two cents for two ates walt. ¢ jew York rates are 4 cents per run- miss mile after the initial mile, and S cents for two minutes’ wait.

That is why taxicabs im Paris have « small flag on their meter, the color of which is red, white or blue, according to the rate adopted by their owners. Also, the cabs are painted their color 0 that any citizen knows what rate he is paying for. “The horse cabs are nearly all sup- plied with taximetres, and these begin at the same rate as the taxicabs, but are somewhat cheaper in the running. Horse cars were and are operated by private companies, but under the su- pervision and control of this service. “There ara two classes of taxicabs in Paris: “First class—Those not authorized to bear a taximeter and aro assigned special stands, entirely THE EVENING upon bet wees er and passenger, there being no few of th recognized rate, Becond class—The ordinary taxicab found all over the city and carrying the oficial taximeter, “AN companies desiring to oper- ate taxtonts in Paris are obliged to acoept the above rate an a mazi- mum. Should they find the rate made by law does not allow any room for profits, they may disclose their operations to the inspector, who then calls a meeting of the special board instituted by the city for the purpose of examining all propositions concerning transporta- tion, “This committee In elected for a term | of three montha only and then entirely renewed with the exception of its chair- man. This committee Js composed of the Chairman (Mr. Joltrain), one in-| apector, the representative of one of the) big taxicab companies, two owners of taxicabs other than large companies, one driver. “This committee accepts or rejects all Propositions submitted. The proposi- tions which have been accepted are then seen by the Chief of Police, who signe them as ordinances,” “Whenever a driver is called up for exceeding the speed limit or for minor offenses againat the city regulations, this commit called upon to say whether Ais lice: hall be temporarily or def- nitely taken from him, “1 make a point of including among the members of this committee one driver known as a goo! man, but also asa determined champion of the drivers’ rights against oppression of the com- “Almost haif the Paris drivers are union men, and I am careful to have @ union man on the committee for one term, and & non-union one for the next. “Taxi drivers, before. \g author- ised to operate in Paris, must have authentic papers that can rove that the applicant hag never mm condemned for theft or any other serious offense, that he is eober and steady, has a permanent @ddress and can read, write and eoun' it. “AML taxicab accidents are immediately Teported to the inepector, but the latter aimply files the reports where no damage has been done to persons, as the insur- ance companies take care of ali damage done to cabs or by cabs, The reports are used as evidence by the insurance companies #0 that the driver as well as the cab companies are protected from fons, to the economic good of all con- cerned, “Therefore in these instances it oan clearly be seen that the cab companies are at considerable expense here, and as ordinary taxicab stand: Let Resinol stop your skin-trouble Have you suffered for weeks, months or even years with eczema or some other itching, Have you tried treatment after treatment in vain, an: haps, given up in despair?
