passen gers would take them away or
destroy them. After some discussion
it was decided that it would be enough
for the driver TO have copy in his
pocket, and then if passenger in
sists on seeing it, the driver can show
tiff he hash t lost it. Tourists com
ing newly TO town will. of course, know
that the driver has the rates of fare
concealed about mis- persons and will
ask him to be so kind as to allow them
to peruse the document.
The Legal Cabby.
Section is interesting as a work
of art. 1t sounds as if it might have
been compiled by a hackdriver with a
legal turn of mind. 1t is as follows:
1t shall be unlawful for any IL
censed driver for hire, when in charge
of a licensed carriage or vehicle, to be
intoxicated, or TO use insulting or abu-
sive language, or to demand more than
the authorized fare, or to neglect, up
on demand. to show a list of the duly
authorized rates of fare or. not be
ing engaged, to refuse any fare In
computing rates of fare, fare may be
charged from the time of leaving the
stand to the time of returning thereto.
Inc last clause is decidedly interesting.
The emily question is, is the driver to
guess how long it will take him to get
back, or is the passenger to return
with him to see that he gets it right, |
before paying his fare.
Rates of Fare.
Sehtion fixes the rates Of fare for
the carrying of passengers for hire. For
the first time the rates Of fare for
automobiles are fixed, the drivers hav-
ing heretofore made their own rates. |
Several changes were made in the pro- !
posed ordinance, always in the upward
direction. But the hackdrivers are not
forgotten. They, too. get boost, espe-
claily in the downtown rates While |
these are not changed much for single
passengers, they are raised decidedly
for more than one passenger For in
stance, under the existing rates, one
passenger within the short limits paws
twenty-five cents and two pay thirty
five cents, with corresponding reduc-
auctions for more. Under the proposed
new ordinance, if one man wishes to
60 from the postoffice to the capitol or
the lnter-Island wharf, it costs him
two-blts, and for two passengers the
rate is four-bits. Quite a nifty little
boost, it appears. This will undoubted-
~ prove very popular with the people
who ride In hacks.
