HACK CHARGES.
Am Effort to Prevent Extortions by
Drivers.

Am Effort to Prevent Ext0rti0ns by
Drivers.
A few days since a lady engaged a
hack at the Southern Pacific depot, and
was driven to her residence on Fort
street. For this she was charged $5,
whereas the amount should have been
but 81. She lodged complaint at the
police station, and said she could identify
the hack and the man who induced her
to engage it. The hack was found, but
the driver and owner of the carriage was
not the man of whom she engaged the
ride. An investigation Of the matter
showed that she was not the only one
who of late has been made the victim of
the graspipg hack driver. and the honest
individuals engaged in the profession are
as anxious as are the officers that this
business shall be stopped. 1t appears
that there are quite number of hack
drivers in the city who do not hesitate to
overcharge passengers when they have q
ceance, and to make detection difficult
they are in the habit of paying commits
sions to men who will procure them
passengers. These men never wear
badges of the same number
as that on the hacks and
cannot therefore be easily identified.
When caught in the act of overcharging
the fine is generally but IS and for this
they do not care. In some cities licenses
are taken away from those who violate
the ordinances, and it is suggested that
an ordinance be framed here that will
force the grasping drivers into obeying
the law. The honest drivers are as
anxious for this as the public and state
that they will endeavor to have the law
carried out if passed.
