There nothing to do but pay it and then go to the trouble of complaining afterward, which Z did. I wrote to the Ohiof of the Bureau of Licenses, Mr, Wallace, and ex- plained the case.

I wae sworn “to tell the truth, the whole teuth and nothing but the truth,” Jurt ax fT was in a regular case in court, and I had the feeling that I had to prove something. In other words, he wan thy defendant and 1 was the prose- cutor, and I could ree why many people would rather take the driver's word and “Vet it go at, that,” rather than to have to go through all this. However, there ans enough public-spirited people who Ko to this trouble and keep Mr. Wallace busy hearing cases every day as to over- charges. : In other cities it 1s practically un- known. For example, in the year 1910 im London there was one complaint made from the public against 34,000 made by the Inspectors of the department for the public. In Paria, {t took me nearly three days in charges to reach the ears of Monsieur Joltrain, the Chief of Taxic . Who holds the corresponding position In Paris Mr, Wal- lace does in New York. Mr, Joltrain ts *o busy just overlooking the situation at the head of his many men in the office and inspection department that his time cannot be taken up with details; yet here I was with the Chief of lAcenses ot New York Cityghearing this petty case, > But to go on with my case, After T had been sworn I told the facts, above mentioned, and produced the receipt I had received from the driver, which I had insisted on his giving me. (Later my sister, who was {n the cab, was also sworn) In answer to Mr, Wallace's questions, the driver gave his name as J. Johnaon and «aid he had been operating a cad since September, 2911. That he had once used a meter, took it off his car end was the owner of th Q. Why did you ¢ trip? A. Because, Chief, it’s 3% miles and, at the rate, it amounts to $300 and I charged the full price becaute the cab was full; otherwise I might have been a little lenient. Mr, Wallace: That has nothing to do with the case; you have no right to, chargé any more than tho capacity of your cab for four people. I have here a report from the Chief Inspector of Tax!- cabs and the distance in 2} miles instead of 3% miles. Driver: That's wrong, Chief, it'e 8% 1 may be wrong, but I don't think eo. Of course one of us is wrong. “Of curse,” admitted Mr. Wallece. “You have been operating taxicabs since September, 1911, qué yet you are not sure about this distance. But you went om making the price just the eame.” Driver: ‘There's no way you can figure At for less than 3% miles. Mr. Wallace wishing to be just with the driver and since the man raised a question as to the distance, he said he would put the case over until he con- ferred with the Chief Inspector and would then make his decision. But he $3.50 for this assured me that the dollar over-charge | = would be surely returned to me.
