concern to the members OF the COM
mittee. The majority OF the members
want TO do away with these special
hotel grants. but fear that they may be
unable to proceed legally or constitution
ally In abolishing these stands. They
have asked the Corporation Counsel for
an opinion. The hotel people declare
that they possess the legal right to con-
troll ten foot wide highway space In
front OF their hotel properties; that
they have q legal and constitutional
right to charge for the privilege OF
allowing the cabs of companies to &C.
cupy the street space; that In thus rent
Ing the public highways to cab CON-
panies they are protecting their guests
by having known and responsible COM
panics convey their guests to and from
the hotels; that when hotel properties
were acquired the highway easement
went with the properties naturally and
according to law and that the City
Fathers nor any other authority In fact
can deprive the hotel owners from these
vested and SO called constitutional
rights.
The committee members want those
questions settled and according to Chair
man Willard. they cannot be settled
until the courts pass upon the points
raised. Until the courts decide adverse
ly to the claims of the hotel owners
the Alderman adds. the right to abolish
the special stand privileges remains In
dispute. I'VE appreciate the necessity Of
abolishing these special hotel privileges
II rates are to be substantially reduced"
said Alderman Willard to-day. THE
taxicab companies pay TO the hotels
ten per cent approximately on all hotel
cab business done. That ten per cent.
nets more than 100000 a year. That
ten per cent. charge Is necessarily APP
piled to the cost of passenger carrying
in brief the public pays. Remove that
ten per cent. from present charges and
something will have been accomplished.
