EXTORTION Is ALLEGED
Question Of Jurisdiction First Is to
Be Determined in the
Investigation.

Another step toward determining
whether the taxicab companies of the
District are to charge their patrons ex-
tortlonate fares in order to enable them
to pay a tribute for use of the public
thoroughfares 10 the various hotels of
Washington by way OF rental of por-
| tiOns of the city streets for cab stands
will be taken when the Public Utilities
Commission gives the cab companies a
second hearing on September "a for the
purpose OF determining the jurisdiction
o. the commission.
This hearing, which Is a continuation
OF the hearing OF July IA last. will be
called to order in-the board room of
the Municipal Building at 10 o'clock in
the morning.
Contentious of Company.
1t is the contention Of the cab COM
panies that they do not come under the
jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Com
mission. that they are not common car
riers" within the meaning of the law.
They claim that they have the right OF
selecting such passengers as they wish
to carry. and some of the concerns point
out that they refuse to carry colored
people.
That the rates charged by the cab
companies of Washington are prohibitive
is a complaint frequently made by those
having occasion to use them. Nor are
the people of Washington satisfied by
the explanation Of these rates given by
the leading cab companies, which eX-
PLANTATION is substantially as follows:
While the cost OF operation for each
mile Travelled is about 30 cents, the per-
centage of passenger miles comes to
about one in every two. This makes the
cost OF each passenger mile equal TO
ne nf W. r1NiIag
Then, the companies explain, there are
heavy overhead charges that have to be
added in arriving at a fair schedule of
rates.
Question of Rents.
One of these heavy overhead charges
is thai paid to the hotels and restaurants
for the privilege OF standing the COM
panies cars on the public space 'front.'
ing these places OF business. In some
cases this payment is arranged for in
d novel and intricate manner. The hotel
rents the exclusive service OF a cab COM
pany. The cab company furnishes the
cabs and the hotel collects the fares,
retaining a hxed portion of its collec-
tions, perhaps, as a bonus" on the
fictitious rent paid. which is the privilege
allowed the cab companies of the ex-
elusive use OF the thOrouGhfares before
the hotel. There are many people who
do not believe that il is within the power
of hotel TO rent any part OF the public's
property to anybody for any purpose.
II the Public Utilities Commission de-
cIdes that the taNicab companies come
under its Jurisdiction there will be an
immediate investigation of the present
rates of these companies. according to a
statement of one of the Commissioners.
This investigation likely will direct the
interest and attention of the Commis-
sioners to the tribute collected by the
hotels OF the city under the euphonious
name of rent"
