UNION HACKHEN
OPPOSE HOTEL LIVERIES
District Commissioners Hear Argument
By Counsel and Reserve Opinion.

\ public hearing was given by the Dis
7ict Commissioners today 10 representa-
tives Of the Carriage Drivers Union. and
hotel proprietors upon the question OF
allowing livery teams TO stand near
hotels for the accommodation Of guests
This matter was brought to the attention
OF the Commissioners some time ago by
D. *. Baker. attorney for the union,
who objected to the current practice of
allowing unlicensed carriages and cabs
to serve the hotels
The contention # the cab drivers is
that if carriages are to stand in front
OF hotels the streets there should be
made public hack stands and public
hacks be allowed t. furnish the service.
Provided this should not satisfy the re
quirements Of the situation, the drivers
contend the vehicles of the livery stables
should pay the same license as public
vehicles and be subject TO the same reg
uIations
TIE hotel men held that the use of the
carriages specially or the use of guests
is necessity of theirIbusiness. that they
cannot dispense with it, and if the priv
iloge is to pass from them it would re-
suit in great hardship and Inconvenience.
The Carriage Drivers Association was
represented by d. ". Baker. as counsel.
and w T. Thompson. president of the
association. The hotel men and liver
men webc represented by W. +. Downing,
T. S Hight Of the Willard. o. G. Sta
pies. Of the Riggs House, p. f. RoessIe.
Of the Arlington. and others
AT the close of the hearing the Com
missiorers requested the hotel and livery
men 10 submit a statement from counsel
covering the legal aspects Of the matter
within the next ten days. The Board
then took the case under advisement-
