INEW LAWS IN” VIEW. )\Conditions Here Worst in Growth of Business. By Sophie Irene Loeb. The Welfare Committee of the Board of Aldermen late last evening considered two ordinances, introduced by Alderman Cassidy, These ordi- nances if passed will amend the Pub- lic Hack Law. Ono of these measures will prohibit the driving of a public vehicle by any person under: twenty-one years of age. Tho other amendment, which wes reported out of committee, will change the licensing period as of April 1 instead of Feb. 1, as the pres- ent method gives no opportunity for the examinations of those seeking leenses, These amendments are among sev- eral to be considered by the Board of Aldermen in an effort to create a bet- ter taxi service in New York. In connection with this the Greater circular which in the main asks for higher rates of fare, and asks The Bvening World for an opinion. Tho New York Evening World, in a vigorous campaign which covered a Period of over two years, succecded in 1913 in securing the first taxicao erdinace in the United States that provided regulations and fixed rea- vonable rates, which statute has been @pheld through the courts This newspaper also secured in the Mate Legislature a law which wiped | out private privileges at hack stands, | Privileges that provided a graft of over half a million dollars annually and which brought about exorbitant rates in New York City, which the} public had to pay | “The conditions,” said the late May- er Gaynor, “had grown intolerable when this newspaper took up the cru- sade.” PUBLIC CABS INCREASE BY THE THOUSANDS.

The Assis. | tants were addressed by Chief of Staff Joab Banton, who Instructed them to make clear to Magistrates the necessity for exacting heavy bonds—greater im amount when} practicable than the value’ of the| | property supposedly stolen—from all prisoners charged with larceny. | As the law now stands, a Magis- j trate may delay any bond from exe- cution for forty-eight hours by de manding that the surety be investi. | @ated. This technicality h been | avoided by the surety companies, which file with every bond a state- ment of their assets and claim im munity from the necessity of investi- gation. It is yet possible for the Magistrate to demand that the in- vestigation go behind {he resources of the bonding corporation and find | out what there is of good faith in the promise of the company to produce the accused man for trial; It ls point- ed out that the money consideration is merely a guarantee of that good faith whieh, under the common law, is the highest consideration exacted from the stirety;, the money provision jis merely a penalty upon the surety if his good faith is poorly founded. Now legislation has been suggested Ly Magistrate Simpson, and Asms- nt District Attorneys Pecora and McQuaid who have been conducting the investigation so that the surety company must reveal the source of [collateral furnished by the prisoner or his frends for scrutiny by the police and the et Attorney and to provide for assurance that the | bonding company will do all in its | power to bring Utak into custody any | person who Jumps iis bond It was pointed out that one bonding agent was unable to recall any assis- ance given to the authorities in re- covert bath jumper ‘exeept in a# case where the collateral given to Ut company was a spurious*case and the company itself suffered actual loss, Insidious suggestions have been made to the investigators that the forty-elght-hour delay be abolivhed by aw, inumuch as it is made obsolete | by the known enormous assets of the | bonding corporations, insuring the State against lose. | These are answered by the objec- tion that such a step would give the ‘corporations an iron-clad monopoly of |the bonding business and force the payment of commissions to them by persons having sufficient acceptable security to make bonds on théir own account—and would absolutely wipe out the common law theory that the |bondaman was a person having suf- ficient confidence in the accused (o “stand in his place at bis trial or pay his penalty.”" - The ease with which bonds may be secured by men accused of crime was dramatically ewed yesterduy at the inatiiry being conducted by Magistrate simpson in the Criminal Courts Building, Hyman Albert, a quick-witted but unlearned type of the east side, was belog examined, It was brought out that he is the special police officer at a moving j picture show at Grand and Chrystie Streets at $50 a week He has no bank account or no money saved or real estate, He said he had’ procured bail for lotsa of young people without any (rouble from bonding companies. fe for merly acted through the New Ammster- dam Casualty Company, but lately | has operated through the Mdebty and | | Casualty Company never asked for {nobody,” Albert sald. ‘1 do jfavor.
