WANTS STRICT LAW
FOR TAXICAB RATES
Representative Smith Hits
Hard at Alleged Over
charges.

Taxicab operators in the District will
have to confine their charges 10 the
prices fixed by the District government,
il Chairman Smith, OF the House Dis
trict Committee, has his way. Numer-
Gus complaints are being made of over
charges. and Mr.. Smith himself had a
personal experience with an operator
who attempted to charge him 81 for a
trip which should have cost only 81
cents according to the tariff allowed by
the Commissioners.
It has come to Mr.. Smiths attention
that excessive prices are not only being
charged for actual transportation. but
that drivers compel their passengers 10
pay 80 or % cents. which, they explain
IS for the return trip after the passen-
gers have been landed at their destina-
tiOns. The collection OF d return charge
is not allowed in the tariff approved by
The Commissioners, but the taxicab com
panies have been endeavoring to have il
authorized. In the meantime their driv-
ers are making the charge anyway, it is
said.
Il intend 70 see" said Mr. Smith to-
day, that regulation is put into ef-
feet which viii protect citizens who
ride in these taxicabs- Fair rates for
the cab companies and also for the
passengers should be fixed by Law.
There should be placed inside each cab
list Of these rates, so that any citi-
zen who makes use Of the cab may be
informed what he is supposed to pay
Mr.. Smith is also dissatisfied with
the present rules Of issuing street car
transfers. The regulation that trans
fers be issued only TO those passengers
who ask for them when they paw their
fares is unjust, in his opinion. He be-
lieves that the difficulty could bc
solved by having the conductors ask
the passengers when they pay if they
desired transfers.

For some time past great deal i
speculation has been INDUCED in as
to whether the Virginia Il Truckee
Railway Company was going to ex.
tend their line from Minden further
south into the Wellington and Ante
lopc Valley country.
A representative of The Appeal in
terviewed Mr.. II. NJ. Yerington. Vice
President and General Manager of
the V. Il r., this morning and he had
the following to say regarding the
much talked-of extension of the road
from Minden south:
1T is u fact we have been figuring
on an extension of the road south
from Minden, in fact temporary sur
veys and maps have been made ana
gone over by tthe company many
months ago. Now. however. actua;
work Is going to start and on next
Tuesday morning Chief Engineer
Kirk and fun party will leave this
city to make the permanent survey
for the new road that will tap the
rich district to the south of Carson
City.
mfr. Kirk has been in that section
for several days past arranging for
accommodations and stations for his
surveying party and has everything
In readiness to push the work for
ward with as much disaptch as posi-
BILE. considering the nature of his
work.
You can state now that the line
will be surveyed to Wellington AMI
on into Antelope Valley. The idea
will be to run the road through the
part of thch country that will offer
the most. business for the support of
the railroad.
This extension will give the peo-
pie Of the districts to the south the
chance to do their business at the
Capital City of the State. which will
mean u great thing for Carson City
In every way.
"By the latter part of February the
new motor ear watch has been order
ed will he in service ON the road be-
tween this city and MindeA, and tn"
car was ordered with the express
idea Of its use as fast as the road is
extended into the new district Four

and just as rapidly as the new line
