Free Use to All Citizens to Be Fully Insisted Upon in the Future, By Sophie Irene Loeb. Mayor Mitchel, keenly alive to the frantic efforts of cab companies for private monopoly, who refuse to take out Hoenses, gave considerable at- tention during last week to clearing up the situation once and for all. A Conference of various Commissioners was called, and companies will be made to understand that the Mayor {a determined that the ordinance is fully enforced, and any so-called “pri- vate” cabs operating as public hacks RY jcan no longer hide under a cloak or be ‘ hai shown any discrimination whatsoever. it coger super-creamy The Chief Executive is anxious to Promote end maintain the naturel | seven the cab conveyances’ service, and beauty of the bairand)icen as to regulations and rates, ‘Dain, the first requisites of + |which was begun practically in his administration by the new ordinance, | VEamples Free by Mail {tor wich The Evening World carried rE Otaeapent ostd throwgheut ttt] on a two-year campaign. fea mated ims. oH EEB rhe situation at the docks and ’ -CUTICU _ SOAP inn cvanananencnt nt tT terminate has become intolerable, and Dock Commissioner Smith has been asked to go into the matter thor- ughly as to the leases of steamship companies and as to the violations of unlicensed cab companies to have ex- clusive privilewes to the detriment of public hackmen, NO AUTHORITY IN LAW FOR SUCH PRIVILEGES. This matter has now been thor- oughly Investigated by eminent at- torneys and Corporation Counsel, and there is overwhelming authority throughout the courts that the city has the right to give only wharfage and cranage privileges to steamship companies and cannot grant any such | 45 “private” monopoly as the cab com- panies, especially the Yellows, have had. For some reason or other cab *‘|companios bave been given private privilege to use the docks as hack stands and they have been charging double the legal rates. Ae a matter of fact, It is now au- thoritatively stated that lessees of docks and ferry landings cannot interfere with free usage by the gen- eral public and thet such places aro in reality @ continuation of the high- ways of the city. The general “declaration of courts is voiced in an opinion by Chief Justice ‘Davies. “These wharves and piers are streets of the City of New York for the free passage of all citi- sens and are eo declared by the statute.” Another notable opinion from the rial Division by Judge Carr atal While & public dock differs from a public highway In hae important re- spects the nature of the trust by which the municipality holds it is in ensence the same, that Ie for the ‘pub- AB, ich @ same essential Rabie should apply eo far as prac- th ‘The whole wharf js held for the public use and not simply a part of it.
