SAYS HACKMAN PAID $4,000 a YEAR.
For Privilege at the Waldorf-Mayor Gives
Hearing On Road Ordinance

The Committee on Laws and Legislation of the
Board OF Aldermen held public hearing yester-
day on the proposed rules of the road ordi-
nance, which proposes TO regulate traffic the
streets Of the city.
The ordinance vas opposed by J. II Wilks chair
man of the board Of directors Of the New-York
Truck Owners Association and J. F. Mccarthy
president of the association, both Of whom are
also members of the Central Federated Union
They opposed the measure the ground that It
would impose hardship on the truck owners who
have to DO business with the multitude of bust
ness concerns in Broadway and Fifth-ave They
held that it would permit the loading and unload
ing of trucks other thoroughfares than Broad
way and Fifth-ave, and that there should be no
discrimination.
Samuel Donnelly and John Flynn, Of the Hack
mems Protective Association, also opposed the
measure on the ground that It would vest the
power TO designate hack stands in the hands of
the Police Commissioner instead OF the Board of
Aldermen Mr. Flynn said what the hackmen
wanted was the abolition of special privileges on
the public highways He said he hoped the alder
measure, and give the hackmen ordinance that
would protect their interests.

ton Of this Mr.. Flynn said that any member Of
