passengers would take them awav 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 hasn't lost it. Tourists com.
ing newly to town will, of course. know
that the driver has the rates of fare
concealed about his 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 hackdriver with a
legal turn of mind. 1t is as follows:
at shall be unlawful for any IL
censed driver for hire, when in charge
of 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 list of the duly
authorized rates of fare or, not be.
ing engaged, to refuse any fare. In
computing rates of fare, fare NAV be
charged from the time of leaving the
stand to the time of returning thereto.
1 ne last clause is decidedly interesting.
The only 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 Z 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-
cially 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 pays
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
go from the postoffice to the capitol or
| the lnter-1sland wharf, it costs him
two-blts, and for two passengers the
rate is four-bits. Quite nifty little
boost, it appears. This will undoubted-
ly prove very popular with the people
who ride in hacks.
The section as amended is as follows:
l. To or from any point in or be-
tween Beretania avenue and the har-
Dor and between Maunakea and Punch
| bowl streets, hacks and carriages,
one passenger 25 cents, each add
| tional passenger % cents; automobiles
$l.OO, each additional passenger Oh
| cents.
