Former Assistant Corporation Counsel Cosby, author of Cosby’s Code of Ordinances and late President of the M chants’ Association, joins Mayor Gaynor and other city officials supporting The Evening World’s fight for a cheap, safe, popular cu service. Says Mr. Cosby: The contention of the cab companies and hotel men that they must give their guests an assured service of honest drivers and effi- clent cabs Is 2 condition that should not exist. #or it implies that there are cabs which are granted license in New York City for the carrying of passengers which are not reliable. Therefore strict rules and regulations similar to those in other cities where the system has been perfected must be made so that every driver must prove his honesty and efficiency and be bonded accordingly if necessary. All cabs must be so equipped and under such strict surveillance that any cab in the City of New York serving the public will be as good as another in efficiency. This is the same clear, specific policy laid down in the Ten Taxi- cab Tests which The Evening World compiled and published several months ago as the basis for a new service. TEN TAXICAB TESTS. 1. All properly licensed taxtenbs should have equal rights. No hotel should be allowed to soil to a taxicab company special street privileges which belong to the people. No taxicab company should bo permitted to charge the public exorbitant faros on the ground that ft must pay a hotel for such privileges. &. All Uoensed taxicabs should be equally safe. Wo hotel Ghould be allowed to plead that it must favor certain cabs for the eafety of ite patrons. Lururious cabs with extra rates for hotel \ @wects are, of course, permissibie. But every licensed taxiord | 4 should have % Taxicabs should be held to spectfied standards of construc- ton and equipment. Thorough examination of the machine should Precede the granting of a license, Meters should be tested and frequently inspected—if necessary under seal. Any car failing Delow the standard should be ruled off the atreets. 4, Taxicab stands should be numerous and convenient. Hotels should not be permitted to monopolize such stands. The city should designate stands in squares and side atreets wherever pos- sible. In certain atreets, at certain hours when traffic ts not im- peded thereby, cabs should be allowed to take passengers on hall from the curb. 5. Pho licensing of taxicab chanffeurs must be thoroughly or- @enised on rigid lines. Bvery taxi driver should be at least twenty- ome years old, able to read nz write, experienced, healthy, strong enough to manage his machine and handle luggage, neat and polite. ‘We should be required to furnish testimonials as to his record, and to pase © practios] examination proving his ability to handle the car he proposes to rive. No man with @ criminal record should ® 6. Under no circumstances should any person be permitted to Fide on the front of a taxicab with the driver. The front of the cab should have but one seat and that should be occupled by the chauffeur himself. His license number should be always plainly Gisplayed. His photograph should be stamped on his Hoense. 1. A book of rules and regulations should be carried by every chauffeur. He should be familiar with the contents. A direst of these rules and @ schodule of distances and fares should be dis- played inside the cab in plain view of the passenger. 8, The city should insist upon the adoption by the companies within reasonable time of devices for the convenience and comfort of taxicab passengers. Every cab should be reqtired to carry a Tug in cold weather. The front window should have in the glass behind the chauffour’s head a shutter through which the Passenger may speek without opening door or window, Invention of similar conveniences should be encouraged. 9. Fares of New York taxicabs should be reduced, not imme- lately to the low European scale, but to a point which shall at once encourage the general public to regard and use the taxicab a @ convenience for the many and not as a luxury for the few. Particularly should the tariff for short distancen be reduced, A tariff of forty cents for the first mile or fraction thereof and ten cents for each additional quarter mile would soon atimu- late a confidence in taxicabs and lead to furthe: sletent reductions, a uacaad ocak 10, The city should establish and maintain a spect bureau for the regulation of taxicabs, examination ot traces Grivers and such supervision and study of the taxionb ayntem no might further the extension and cheapening of the service 1?
