COMPLAINT MADE
AGAINST HACKMEN
Blockading Of Sidewalk at G. G. s.
|. Depot Becoming MUS
ance.

The attention of The News has been
called to what many pronounce
genuine public nuisance, namely: The
practice of hackmen and draymen in
practically blocking the way for every
pedestrian who in leaving the
Gulf & Ship Island station, tries to
make his way towards the Northeast
ern passenger station. The DISPOSE
ton of the complainants is not to
place any bar upon the business OF
the hackmen and draymen, which they
recognize as necessary and legitimate,
but to urge that there is no good
reason why competition between
rival hackmen should warrant their
forming a solid line, through which
| it is difficult to pass, as
they did last evening and as they do
nearly evry day.
The News is informed that
last night young lady 16
or II years of age, who came in on
G. G. S. l. train, undertook to go
alone to the N. o. & N. e. station,
carrying large hat box. Even be
fore she reached the south end of the
G. & s. l. platform, perfect babel OF
voices were calling to her for patron
age, several of the most persistent
drivers going far up on the prohibited
zone, in their effort to secure atten
ton. In this manner her way was
blocked and she had to pass out on tt
the railroad track in order to pass the
crowd and go her way undisturbed.
Such practices are annoying to th'
public and should be abated, If not By
the hackmen and draymen themselves
then by the police.
