DIRTY HACKS ovERHAULED.
On the night Of the Purim ball the Marshal had in
attendance In mont Of the Academy one or two Of
his deputies and the officers attached to his bureau,
who inspected the various coaches In line and kept
record Of the unclean and those otherwise sn-
suficientn In the eyes Of the law, which Deputy
Michael 7. Daily duly reported to him. The result
was that the OFFENDING coaches were ordered to
port Thursday afternoon last in front Of the City
never before been seen in this city IN daylight Per-
haps the palm for "nsuaciency'i should be awarded
the hacks bearing or which should BEAR the follow
ing numbers:-6o7 Io2 1885, sos, 2ss sl7 eO3 1876, TO-
500 320 and 462. The owners OF these were ordered
to have the vehicles thoroughly renovated save Nos
GOT and 1876, which were found to be in such mser-
able condition that the licenses for them would not
be renewed During the inspection . large number
proval OF the decision OF the Marshall The several
owners and drivers were next arraigned before the
MA aesk ane WIFI e hoss
in the much needed reform thus inaugu-
rated may be estimated by the great num-
crowdng the large space in the Mayors once devoted
10 the Bureau Of Licenses. The Marshal took occa-
sion to say that, although his sympathes were with
the poor men, owners, perhaps, OF only o single
coach, who were endeav0ring to gain an honest
liyellnood. yet the complaints were so frequent at
his Bureau concerning the swndling operations OF
some or the hackmen that hereafter he would use
the greatest severity where the charges proved
ufu Arvn oVA In ffntfn
reputable citizens residents and strangers led him
TO believe the hackney coach system OF New York,
Of any American cities He was resolved rS to re-
form 1t 30 far as his powers permitted, and to make
It q credit instead OF disgrace to the metropolis.
Every licensed coach must have ifs number con-
spicuously painted on both lamps; the card
OF rates OF fare must be placed in a
prominent position insiue the coach, observable 10
every passenger; II called for the driver must pre-
sent to his customer card which must be legbly
printed the number OF his license also the name or
the owner OF the coach and his place of stabling,
together with the place Of the Mayors ofice. Some
OF the hackney coaches, he was sorry to say, he
gentleman to ride in, and he would give special in
structons to his of1cers to apprehend the drivers
them for the violation OF the ordinances In this re-
spect AMI mayhap refuse to renew their licenses.
Public sentiment he found was strong against the
hackmen, and this feeling was brought about by
VIOLATIONS OF CORPORATION ORDINANCES.

fined two dollars for driving kindling wagon with
out license.
