New York, Jan. 13.-A trust" or
sanized for the purpose of lowering
prices seems to be an extravagant
dream, but that is the expressed OBJ
ject Of the Cooperative Cab Company
which is scheduled to begin business
in New York next week. All those con-
nected with the new organization are
hanson cab owners or builders and
they propose to cut cab fare to twen-
ty-fve cents a mile or a dollar an
hour during the shopping hours. Taxi
cabs have nearly driven the horse
drawn vehicles out of business in the
metropolis, but it is believed that the
cut rates will bring the hansoms into
favor again. The increased business
is expected to allow the company a
fair profit on it's investment. A dis
tinctiye color scheme has been adopt
ed for all the cabs of the company, so
that they may be readily recognized
and the management promises to be
very careful in the selection of driv-
ers, to the end that there may be no
extortion of patrons.
