ALDERMEN FAVOR DENTCAL LAW. TN! PEOPLE ASK Ordinance Submitted by One Company Is Practically Copied by Grimm. IT FAVORS “STANDS.” Monopoly Will Be Enabled by | This Measure to Keep Up | Excessive Rates of Fare. By Sophie Irene Loeb. The submission by Alderman Henry F. Grimm of Brooklyn, Chair- fan of the committee to revise the rates and better the service of taxi- ‘cabs and public hacks, of an or-) dinance which he says represents | the sentiment of a majority of the committee, indicates that the months of work of this committee were all wasted. The members of the com- mittee might as well have allowed the shrewd and persistent lawyer) who represented the Yellow Taxi- cab Company to write up their or- dinance in the first place. ‘Por the ordinance which this lawyer vt tted several weeks ago “for the “Purpose of suggestions” and “to help, the committee” is practically the same Chairman Grimm, The phraseology in the Grimm ordinance and the ordinance | rewn up by counsel is almost identical. In other words it would appear that the many meetings and public hearings held by the committee have been a succession of bluffs, Chairman Grimm, who represents the Sixty-fourth Aldermanic district in Brooklyn, in which a taxicab {s almost as much of a novelty as a circus parade, wants the committee to substitute his ordinance for the Meagher-Marks ordt- nance, which Incorporates real reforms advocated by The Evening World, In-| cluding revision of fares and abolition ot private hackstands, He wants the Alfermanic Committee, after months of work, to indorse all the arguments that have been put forth by the counsel for the taxicab companies and reject the ar- guments that have been put forward by the public. ALDERMAN MARKS WAS ON THE | LOOKOUT. ~ Fortunately Alderman Marks was on | the watch when Chairman Grimm sub- mitted the ordinance he said he had drawn up and asked the committee to ign it and send it to the full Board of Aldermen for passage, Alderman Marks recogmzed the Grimm ordinance in a minute. Mr. Marks immediately told Mr. | Grimm ‘that he would not have any lawyer for @ taxicab company draw up an ordinance for the public on this question and he would not be a party @ sanctioning any such ordinance and | was upheld by the other minority mem- bers, Mr. Bolles and Mr. Brush. “Besides,” said Mr. Marks, “the re- port Mr. Grimm euggested submitting to the board is against the public inter- eate and I intend to oppose it if he Mould present it. I¢ calls for the re- taining of the private hack sta’ out in rates and states that have too many taxicabs on the stapets of New York and that we do not need any more. SHOWS FAVORITISM TO THE CAB COMPANIE! The whole thing certainly shows ut- most favoritism to the cab compani I am surprised that Mr. Grimm shou present such a proposition after four- teen months’ service on this investiga- tion committee, which > investigation should report, in all fairness, the exact opposite. “This ordinance would not only per- petuate the monopoly the cab co! panies now have and tend to raise t @iready high rates, but would put back, for years, the hope of ever getting a larger and more popular public convey- ance service such as a city I!ke New York ought to have “The Marks-Meagher ordinance was wn up after careful consideration of sides of the question, and tends to t the public against the exorbitant raltes ahd the chaotic condition of regu- lations, 1¢ Mr. Grimm and his adher- ‘ent@ have the public interest thoroughly at heart, there is no reason why this oréinance should not meet with their approval. At least in most of ite meas- ‘urge and ip the main it could constitute a final ordinance coming from the en- tire taxicab committee. “To Prove that its purpore ta sincere and just to not only the public but the cad Companies you have but to look over the proposed ordinance from the Mayor's commission and the main issues in re- gard to the welfare of all is practically the same, with protection to all and fa- voritiem to none, “The Mayor's commission comprises representative citizens, and they are try- ing to recommend something to the Mayor that will meet existing cohditions and prepare the way for more equitable service that 1s also expressed in the Marke-Meagher ordinances. “Teeretore as soon as the peport ts made to the Mayor and the matter !s referred back to us, I think that, with the “Marks-Meagher nance, which Mr. Bolles and Mr, Brush also approve, we can arrive at a@ definite and com- plpte whole to place before the board. I do not propose to allow any taxicab lawyers to susgest any ordinance for my spproval-on this question. hence MEAGHER ORDINANCE MEETS REQUIREMENTS, Bolles said: “We have gone over Serer oes <i $ sina THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, APRIL’ MRS.
