This ordinance seems in direct contradiction of the law just passed which eliminates all private hack stands. If the proposed ordi- nance is made a law it will enable these so-called sight-seeing cars to hold private stands. According to the Corporation Coun- sel’s ruling, a sight-seeing car is one which starts from a given point, where it collects its load of passen- gers, and travels throughout the} city, showing different points of in- terest, and returning to its starting point without picking up passengers en route. In view of this ruling the power to kill the value of the pro- posed ordinance by simply cancel- GEORGE ROBERTSON = itng all iicenses to the so-called sight-seeing cars that do not meet this ruling. Most of these buses are not sightseers, but are common carriers com- peting with the street railway companies and carrying passenger pick-ups | to such places as the Polo Grounds and Coney Island. If the public hack stands would be maintained properly the buses should be restricted to designated stands only and be controlled abso- lutely by the Bureau of Licenses.

Well, I guess you young fellows never heard about the time Jerry Hoppe over- leaped himself, did you?” They all shook their heads and crowded closer as the old fellow reached for his well-worn and thumb-marked book, While playing with the Old Limber Feet, the famous trick ball club of the Willow Swamp League, Jerry Hopps spent most of his time devising new schemes for beating the rules. Jerry was a pitcher, it is true, but he didn’t limit his endeavors to that department of the game, Baso run ning was as much his speciality as pitching that famous curve with a hop on it.
