The matter of keeping tab on the taximeters was

cially designed for testing the accuracy of the

The frequency with which the claim is made
that the automobile is largely an extravaganza

with rapidity and lack OF discretion that threat

out by the results of recent Investigations.

OF accidents as reported by accident insurance
