The atreets are owned by the public and belong to the public. Why should the compan- fem insist upon the present plan?

Acconiing to Chairman Willard “some- thing,” {f dt be only @ Ittle something, ‘will happen soon—next week? That 1a to fay, the part of the Jegisiation as to rules and regulations for drivers will be ready next week. It has been said that ft 4s the intention of the committees to put through these rules and regutations first and then take up the question of private hackstands and rates. Alderman Bolles, who ts serving on the committee, anid when I talked with him: “I am tn favor of abolishing the private ackstands and lowering the rates and nding it In one complete ordin- ance, While it may be voted on in parts all the parte should appear simultane- ously. WILL VOTE TO ABOLISH PRI- VATE STANDS. “This committee has been at this Proposition since last February, and my mind is made up that the one thing to give the public a more efficient and popular service is to abolish the private hackstands and lower the rates, and I {intend to vote that way. “I bave studied the question from all idea and have come to the conclusion ‘that es long as the present system of private hackstands is in operation the Service will practically remain the same, ‘without any hope of future adjustments from drivers ané hackmen throughout city. “If there be @ free-for-all use of the etresta, where any hack may take up fArade, it le bound to give a more gen- See Se ee, of private ‘which operations have been #0 a0 to preclude @ possibility of BS tates pea furcre, ‘There- feem up to our commit. recommendations and on @ better result may H F adi il not been tried.

IT 18 TIME TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE PUBLIC, “There have been many hearings and all kinds of investigations, and I think it 1s soon time to do something. I for one am ready to vote in the manner mentioned in the hope of @iving the public what has semingly been nested and in demand for @ long time—a more eMfictent and lower rate servicey “I have heard a lot of talk about ‘geography’ and ‘dead mileage’ and dit- ferent conditions that exist in Euro- | penn cities where the service ts per- fected. While it may be true that we cannot hope to have @ service as eMm- clent and as cheap an that enjoyed by European cities, (¢ we take @ strong stand in this much-talked-of measure and abolish the private hack service, ies fe unknown in Buropean cities, we can hope to get things different om what they are now. “I'm not in favor of putting tn there adjustments plecemeal.
