LINING Up CLUBS FOR
PRIVATE CAB STANDS
James B. Townsend Says Club
men Do Not Favor Graft
From Public Streets.
BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB.

At q recent meeting Of the Mayors
commission on the public conveyance
question John Julick made q plea before
that body In favor Of retaining private
hack stands In front Of clubs. claiming
that he represented all the clubs In New
York.
The result OF this was that In abolish
Ing the private hack stands and desig.
mating public hack stands In their places
the Mayors committee under the dir
cumstances has thought II advisable to
leave the clubs out Of the ordinance and
have them make requests for the public
hack stands direct to the Mayor.
Many prominent club members have
forcibly expressed their Views In re-
gard to this matter. And the sentiments
here expressed by James d. Townsend
In a letter to Tho Evening World Is
voiced by many prominent club mem
bers. The letter follows:
MY Dear Sir: I have noted and
read with keen interest your cam
paign against the virtual highway
robbery that has been practlsed and
continues to BIO practised upon tho
companies. In order to retain the
use OF the public streets in front of
the various hotels and clubs. the
said use being granted to said COM
panies by hotel proprietors, clubs
and other organizations without any
legal right for their own benefit.
noticed that one. John Jullck, an
attorney claiming to represent tho
Associated Clubs of New York. ap-
peared at a recent hearing on this
taxlcab question and made the sur
prislng statement that the clubs OF
New York which he represented
wished the private cab stands re-
tained, because their members liked
to have the privilege OF charging
their cab bills. which they could not
do with public cab stands.
It seems to me that Mr.. Jul!ck
should have been asked for his cre-
dsntials, for as a member Of sew
eral clubs know OF no action being
taken by those to which I belong or
by similar organizations.
do not believe that the club men
Of New York would have counte-
nanced or approved OF any such rep
resentation. and would resent, II they
could be consulted. Mr.. Julick plac-
ing them before the committee In
such absolutely marrow. selfish and
unfair attitude to their fellow-citi-
zens.
know that, unfortunately. club
treasurers and house committees
have rather welcomed the added
reyenue that comes to their organiza.
ton from the renting out Of the
streets on which they abut to the
taxicab companies. and for which
these companies pay largely.
I also know that the majority Of
club members do not relish the pay
ing Of extortionate rates to the cab
companies either in cash or through
their charge accounts. so that the cab
companies may. In turn. pay for the
concession OF the public street.

between Mobile Bay and Mississippi
Sound, and has provided for several
surveys and reports on various sec
tions of the proposed waterway, known
as the st. GeOrge-R1o Grande SecuOn

purpose of Transporting logs and lum-
Der. This condition will rapidly change
when the Choctawhatchee river is
made navigable from Geneva. and a
regular boat line between Choctaw-
hatchee and Pensacola is established.
While this means will provide the in
gress and egress for the local business.
and regular connection with the PEN
sacola market, the greatest benefit will
come when the intercoastal waterway
has been constructed to the Missis-
sippi river, so as to allow the ship
ping of Mississippi valley products ana
Alabama coal in unbFol1en cargoes into
the confines of Walton county. The
construction OF the intercoastal water
way TO the east will also be of benefit
by providing access to the eastern
ports and to the products OF the Apa-
1achicola river valley.
While the government engineers in
their reports to the congress of 1911-'12
decided unfavorably with regard to-
that part OF the inland waterway be-
tween st. George sound and the Mis-
sissippi river the reason advanced was
excessive cost. With view of elini-
mating part OF the cost, new surveys
and reports are being secured for an
inland waterway of less depth than
