RR err: LOW TAXI RATES DEMANDED, SAYS ALDERMAN WAN NICOLL, That Is Why 1 Spe a Special Com- “mittee Was Appointed, ‘He Declares. MAKE. STANDS PUBLIC. Meet the Entire Situation in One Ordinance, He Advocates. By Sophie Irene Loeb. “T think @ complete ordinance cover- ‘nk every point of the taxicab situation 1 and should be forthcoming from present comm,'tee,” sald Avlerman net Nicoll, Chaterma of: the nd Legislation Comnuriay, walch body will act upon the proposed ordl- Nance when it has been repor:ed by the special committee of which Alderman Willard is Chairman “Further,” continued Mr. Nicoll, “the Prime interest of this whols aitintion to the public is this matter of rates and the abolishing of private hackstands end recommendations covering these Points should come in this ordinance.” I suggested to Mr. Nicoll that some of the committee perhaps favored first framing an oniinance regulating the chauffeurs, getting that through, and then taking up the question ot hack- + stands end rates. “I do not see how that would be jus- tiflable,” he answered. “If that is done, leaving the condition of hackstands and rates as they are, there is no set of reg- ulations that could cover the eltuation entire. For under the present system there are two distinct kinds of h men—private hacketand hackmen public hackstand hackmen. Thor Pules and regulations would need to be @rawn up covering laws for each kind. Ig they put through rules and regula- tions only we would have to act upon rules end regulations only, and if passed they would still remain under the pres- ent conditions of private hacketands and hackstands. “In thie case, if a second measure ame in, adolishing private hackstands, ‘then the regulations pease’ would hardly cover this second change, at least it would entail contin. vous conflict in points of lew. The com- uatttes would then not entirely fulfil ‘the mission for which it was appointed. “Bo that it 1s up to the committee to Present a complete ordinance covering @ll points. This matter has been before ften to take it up the committee t tn gections: The no reason for it. fm November, 1 ‘1911, and the present the Board of Aldermen, Other people have presented o1 16, 1912. covering these points. “This ordinance of Jan. 16, 1912, {s now pending before the Laws and Legislation Committee, but we have delayed report- fag it out, as a special committee, of which Alderman Willord is Chatrman, is tnow investigating the entire subject, and 44t {9 my opinion that this ordinance may ;de further improved by the result of the ‘investigation of Aklerman Willard's able rate of fa QUESTION. tigation c!
