Glynn himself taaged, and which has now passed both houses of the State Legislature. Under the provisions of this bill, if private property owners or dessces contract for the use of streets or public highways they are guilty of misdemeanor and can be punished accordingly Magistrates in this city will, therefore, have additional help in enforcing the provisions of the new taxicab ordinance which apply to poblic stands. The day when s taxicab company could brazenly buy stand from hotele and apartment houses and monopolize the @twests at the expense of its patrons’ pockets is once and for all past. The taxicab ordinance for which this newspaper made its suc- @eesful fight is now in action all along the line. The State law puts emeodge on it. ee eines Bo it was @ patriotic thief, and he thought to let Mona Tea enjoy @ spell of “old home” bliss in Florence!
