UE TO-MORROW. —s Néw Law Goes Into Effect at Midnight and Will Be Strictly Enforced. TO ARG! The Masoneaman Tranaportation Company, next to the Yellow Taxicab Company the largest operator of tazi- vabs in the city, crawled to-day under the injunction blanket in order to dodge the provisions of the new tazl- cab ordinance. Through Corbett & Btern, counsel, they petitioned the Su- preme Court to enjoin the city from enforcing the ordinance which /goes [inte effect at midnight. The Hiliterd Neotel Company, operating the Hotel Vanderdik, iso got an against the city. Bo aié the Information redched the Mayer's Bureau of Id4cénees that other small taxtead concerns and probably several hotels would adopt the injunction plan |that no choice had been made. This committee meets at 7 o'clock to-night to atavé off temporarily the Inevitable reduetion of taxicab fares and the the public. Under a ruling made by Justice Donnelly, Who granted the orisi- nal injunction, the ordinance will be in full force and effect to-morrow with ap- pileation to all who have not enjoined the Mayor, the Chief of the Bureau of Licenses and the Commissioner of Police. The ground upor which the Mason- Geaman C y asked for an injunc- tion was that \the ordinance is di - fnatory, in that it favors/ horse-drawn vehicles, and confiscatory, in that it places the legal rate of fare too low. This concern operates hackstagds, for which it pays heavy rentals, in the pub- He streets in front of nearly fifty hotels, clube and restaurants, including the Rits-Cariton, McAlpin, Savoy, Ansonia, Park Avenue, Breslin, Martinique Manhattan Hotels aad the New Athletic Club.
