TRUBT. a ‘These decisions as to violations of the amenément recently upheld by the Appellate Division break the last ‘gtraw to which the Mason-Geaman Taxicab Company was clinging to &mrge higher rates and operate cabs ‘without @ Mosnse, which they have been doing ever since the original ordinance went into effect a year ago. After Magistrate Murphy passed on these cases the company withdrew all unitoensed cabs and there was not one found on the atreet last night by Chief Drennen and his inspectors. Kven in the Waldorf-Astoria Court there were only “Ncenaed” Mason-Seaman cabs. Magletrate Murphy made it plain! o te the attorneys of th mpany that the rights of the public would be up held, that the real purport of the or- d@inance weuld not be clouded by eleake or pleas of “private” ope tlene when, in truth, they were pul Ne carriers, coming at the call of the general public, whether by telephone er at railroad stations and hotel Commissioner Bell was present at the hearing and urged prosecution of the violators. Ever since the amendment waa up- hela John Drennen, Chief of the Li- cense Bureau, and his inspectors have been on the streets at all hours of the day and night, rounding up these lawless cabs, and in the words of Mr. Drennen, who for three year ‘has been untiring in his efforts to create @ proper public cab service: “If It takes the whole Police Depart- ment to aid our inspectors, this sit- wation will be cleared up once and for all, now that we have theee de- cisions.” George W. Cowie, Assistant Cor- poration Counsel, conducted the cases ‘tm behalf of the city.

He also pointed out to the Judge - at the Pennsylvania Ratiroad other so-called “private prop- - gtands, where the companies @ percentage to get the business, te the general public that must take these cabs.
