Tothe Editor of The EvESISG STAR:
am glad to see the victims OF Oyerchargas and
unkept engagements airing their grievances against
the Herdc cab company: but don't think al the
public Indignation should be fired of Ia that di-
rection- The Hanson cab service IS no better in
the matter complained OF. than the other Members
OF my family have been repeatedly overchargei bv
the Hanson drivers and on several occasions
have been seriously disappointed by their failure
10 keep engagements positively made PlOry all
the guilty alike, is the sentiment of FAIR PLAY.
