Older taxicab corporations who had depended on privilege and extortion for their profits attacked the new ordinance in vain, Time after time it withstood their assaults in the courts. And while these corporations were desperately trying to overturn or evade the law, new competitors took business away from them by operating under the ordinance, improving their cabs, winning the con- fidence of the public and popularizing the taxicab to @ dogros| the Taxi Trust never dreamed of. 20,541 DIS'.OYAL TY jore the fo when y 8, |9 cold, the new responstbilittes the!

World predicted would happen to taxi operators who refused to belteve there could be profit in a licensed, low-priced taxicab service increas- ing its patronage by its appeal. A last survival of privilege has been fostered by railroads entering this city, who have presumed to give certain cab companies exclusive rights on their terminal premises, thereby enabling these companies to escape city regulation and overcharge the public, An end is made of this injustice by the new amendment, which requires every hack for public hire using the city’s streets to carry a weter ond charge the legal rates—thereby, as tho Mayor says, “com- pleting the taxicab ordinance.” Five years ago there was nothing but grumbling and disgust at the scarcity and preposterously high charges of taxis in New York, Even well-to-do people felt they could not use them.
