MAPPING OUT CITY
So TAXI RIDERS CAN
KNOW DISTANCES
Aldermanic Committee Pro-
poses to Make Sweeping Re-
forms Evening World Asked.

The members OF the Adermanlc Com
mlttee which has undertaken 10 reform
taxlcab operation AMI compel reduce
ton In the present cxorbltant rate for
service are determined to make the re-
forms sweeping. They propose to go
into every phase OF the tax!cab stua-
ion, go that when their work IL com
pleted and their report IN the hands OF
the board for action, the field VIII have
been thoroughly covered. 1t will then
remain with the board to adopt the re-
port.
Portions OF the report have already
been written. These deals with the pro-
posed new regulations as to the licens'
ing Of chauffeurs. sanitary condition oil
cabs, affixing OF license plates, inspec'
ton OF cabs and meters and the plotting
of the city to establish distances be-
tween points. Under this later sugges'
| ton a person engaging cab In ans
| part OF the city could tell upon arrival
! at his destination exactly the mileage
covered.
| Surveyors have been at work on
| scientific tabulation OF such distances
, endeavoring to cover every direction ir
which a taxicab might be required to
drive. Even rourI about routes are In
cluded. 1t is suggested by several mem
bers OF the committee that the distance
maps shall always be in possession OF
drivers and displayed within cabs a!
well.
| Designation Of possible intermediate
stations proposed for taxis is also sug
gested. This Is a feature that has direc'
beating on the rate question. One o'
the chief arguments of the taxi com
panies against lower rates Is dead
mileage. A fare may be taken ABOARD
n.own and carried to .ha lower busi
ness section. The cab Invariably re
turns empty 10 its uptown station.
