Taxicab Clock Too Swift for skipper
Captain Mcleod of the bark Gerard
G. Tobey, has filed with the harbor
commission a complaint against Will
liam Duggan, who maintains q stand
of taxicabs in front Of the ferry depot.
Captain Mcleod had OCCASION to use
one of DugSanS taxiS the other day.
Before getting aboard he was IN
formed that the charge would be $3.50
an hour This suited the skipper and
he asked the chauffeur to take notice
both agreed that it was then 4:15 p. M.
When they got back to the ferry the
chauffeur demanded $500. The skip
per called his attention to the fact that
1t was not yet 5:15 and that he had
been in the taxi less than an hour.
The chauffeur insisted the register
in the cab showed $500 and refused
to take a cent less. The skipper called
a policeman, who suggested that they
all go over to the harbor station. There.
said the skipper, he. was told by the
sergeant that he could choose between
paying the $500 or going to Jail. Cap
tain Mcleod was for going to Jail, but
just then w. +. Woodside, owner of
the nes Gerard RAJ z. Tobey put in ,,b5 an ba5ppear
the amount demanded. taking the
chauffeur's receipt.
If the harbor commission, upon in
veStigation, finds that the captain was
the victim of extortion, the board mas
the power to refuse Duggan pernis-
sion to maintain a taxicab stand in
state owns and controls East street
clear to the west line.
