course a trihe smarter and have horses a
shade better than the cheaper ones denoted by
the red flag and crimson stripes. Also the
pilgrim from the United States must take
notice that II the top Of the carriage is thrown
back he must pay an additional IS cents per
hour
Hack inspectors are kept at regular sta
tions through the city. When a cab is seen to
leave the railway station It is stopped by one
Of these officials. who takes its number, the
number OF passengers, their destination and
the time. This information goes to the cen
