The Detroit city legal department has
an interesting question on its hands relative
TO the licensing of motor cabs which at
present pay no fee TO the city for running
in spite Of the fact that the cabs have de-
veloped very lively competition. for the
horse drawn vehicles which formerly
monopoized the ield. The company which
is running the taKis alleges it would be
glad to pay the license but for the fact that
Il would be unable TO- do business al the
rate which the horse drawn vehicles have
to maintain. The, latter are governed
by regulations based on O charge per hour
while the takes naturally charge by the
mile. The owner OF the motor cabs wants
an amendment 10 the law making 0 sepa-
rate class for bis vehicle. Unless something
OF this sort Is done he will obviously have
to pay the license or go out OF business.
