burg Taxicab Company has found that
it does not use its taxicabs to the best
advantage. owning to the fact that it is
impossible to communicate with the driv-
ers after they have started out with a
fare. Frequently the taNicab carries a
fare to n remote part of the city and
then must return empty, while another
taxicab is sent to a neiShboring section
of the city for another fare. II a
means were provided for communicating
with the first taXicab, it would not be
necessary for it to return empty. Thus
there would be a considerable reduction
of what is known as dead" mileage
For this reason a telephone system is
being installed, with telephone boxes
placed at various points throughout the
city. so that the driver of the taxicah
may communicate with the central sta
non OF the taNicab company before re-
turning, in order to determine whether
ne may pick up another fare on the way
