THE QUESTION OF CARRIAGE HIRE.
Mr.. Oliver I. Beaumont. chairman Of the
committee on carriages. and representing the
executive committee thereof, had hearing be-
fore the Commissioners this morning relative
to carriage rates to and from the ball.
He said that his committee had en-
deavored to get the owners and authorized
agents Of all cabs, carriages and other vehicles
before 1t for the purpose Of establishing a
uniform rate to be charged in bringing people
to the ball and for the purpose OF estab-
lshing suitable arrangement whereby
! there would be no delay in waiting for car
riases. Although considerable time had been
spent in seeing all these men they were unsuc-
cesstul in getting any one before them e1-
cept the Livefymens Association, which con-
trolled large majority of all the unlicensed
carriages in the city. They agreed to estab-
! liz b a-clearing house and exchange for passen-
gers, SO that when hired by one person by the
presentation of ticket to any Of the other
carriages it would be honored. He said
that IL wa the wish of tha
that inasmuch the owners and representa-
tives OF other vehicles did not appear before the
| committee to discuss rates the Commits
sioners issue an order providing that no higher
rates shall be charged on the night in question
| than at present exist.
Commissioner Ross said that no thought it
| would be useless to issue such order, in view
| OF the fact that the present regulation govern
ing the running Of cabs is still in force, and any
violation thereof could be summarily dealt
with. However, he would take much pleasure
| In bringing the matter before the board. Mr..
Beaumont said that he would submit COM
munication on the subject by Monday.
| SATISFACTORY QUARTERS.
| Col. Corbin said today that satisfactory ar
rangements have been made whereby the Fenci-
bles OF Philadelphia and the tenth regiment of
Pennsylvania will be given good quarters in the
| cit, post Office building. 1t found neces-
sary to rent two floors of the building for the
accommodation of these troops.
