TAXIS MAY QUIT
ALL CITY SERVICE.
Threat Is Made if Rates Are
Criticised and Forced
Down.
MONEY LOST ON TRIPS
Item Of Dead Mileage in Washington
Is Larger Than in Some
Other Cities.
MONEY LOST ON TRIPS

Extravagant taxicab rates are not to
be criticised. or the local taxicab con-
Germs will stop all city service, stated an
ofhcial Of one of the large companies yes
terday in answer to a request for a
statement as to why the present service
cannot be given a, more moderate
charges
This oficial said that the hotels do not
charge a nickel for the privilege of
permitting certain cab companies to en-
Joy the exclusive right of parking their
machines on the hotel stands, while wait
ing TO serve the hotel guests.
The hotels lease the services of GER
tain cab companies for their guests; that
is. rent a cab company's service, and
in return receive a percentage on fares
from the cab company. do they not?',s he
was asked.
Il don't wish to discuss that at ALL"
he answered.
Certain of the taxicab concerns, pay
ing tribute to the local hotels for the
exclusive use of the public streets
around their buildings, admit the con-
iition under which they must operate
to serve the hotel guests and admit that
the tribute is not small one.
The taxicab official who objected to
the public finding any fault with the
stated that the only good the papers Of
Washington would effect by directing the
attention of the PEOPLE of the city to
present rates would be TO anger the
companies TO a point where they would
discontinue their city service entirely,
which, he continued, they don't want
very badly anyway.
short Haul Business Small.
He continued that the short haul bust
ness Of the District is small; that. in con-
trast TO cities abroad. there is little bust
ness of picking up passengers in this city.
Questioned as TO whether lower rates
might not increase this business, he
stated that he does not believe II would
increase the business TO any apprecis bic
extent.
He said that the item Of dead mileage"
is an unusually large one in Washington.
This statement also is made by officers
Of the other Washington cab companies.
He stated that in answering calls for
cabs, his company Is compelled by regu-
lations of the District TO run two miles,
both TO and from the fare carried. with
out charge. According to estimates of
operation given by several Of the larger
companies. this would mean that the
companies are often compelled to choose
between refusing their service or operat-
ing at a loss.
In analysis of facts so far obtained,
items entering into the charge which all
patrons must pay are a percentage OF
large tribute exacted by hotels for the
use Of the public streets: a percentage
Of the expense OF running empty cabs
between widely situated cabstands, and
