Something like a millennium is ex-
pected To result from the new taxicaL
law which has gone into effect this
week. The law is supposed to do
away with the shaky old rigs and
abolish the pirate" cabmen. 1t also
regulates charges and numerous other
matters in relation to the hack bust
ness. But one of the greatest reforms
which il is designed to accomplish is
the abolition of the exclusive cab
stands before the big hotels and club
houses. Heretofore, it is said, the pro-
prietors of the big hotels have reapeS
handsome profits by farming out the
cab stand privileges in front of their
places. The charges, the character of
the drivers, or the quality of the ser
vice mattered little to them. The new
law permits any taxicab or other pub
lie vehicle To take it's stand before the
hotels without restriction. Thus is the
honest and hard working New York
bonifice deprived of another source of
easy money"
