When The New York Evening World secured the passage of the taxicab ordinatice m this city in 1913, a measure upheld vy all the courts, there were only about 3,000 hack drivers, To-day there are 15,600. They have almost double@ jn number during my own administration, + “Whe reason of thid is,, that the ordinance created a ‘free-for-all’ use ot the streets, reduced the rates of taxicabs so that there was 4 greater use of this public vehicléy and did away With thé specia? privilegeorhack stands, This ceused many men to go into the business, which ey found profitable. But I hold that this busl- ness of taxtewb driving, more than almost any other ocupation, in of such & character that, for the welfare of the public, only the beat kind of citt- zens whould be licensed. “The temptations, the night runs, and the fact that only one man has complete control of the vehicle, make this particplar work one that neces- sarily ehould be instrusted only to the right kind of men.” In a few days the License Depart- ment will decide Just what it will do gbout leensing these ex-convicts, li- s for whom have been held up by the Commissioner. When asked as to the number of tuxicab holdups that ha en Pe. cently reported, Commissioner Gil- cprist suid that of course these cases come before the police, and that the only power his department has Is to refuse, Hicenses or subject a man to forfeiture of his ilcense, During {ts campaign to establish the taxicab ordinance, The Evening World obtained forty special police inspectors positions created for taxicab duty only and to apprehend violators of the Ww. Graduall: however, these inspectors have been dropped, and there are no taxicab policemen charged with the super- vision of public vehicles. ‘The Evening World has alluded to ‘this condition several times and has urged phat the License Depart- ment be established as a Dureau un- der the jurisdiction. of the Police Department, wo that ample police protection could better be obtained, by the policemen of the city being charged with the duty of protecting the people travelling In public habks. As yet this move has not been made.
