IGNORE ORDINANCE
FIXING HACK FARE
Carriages for Funerals Now Cost
So Each, Although Lower
Rate Is Set by Law.

Although a city ordinance expressly
forbids Il charge OF moro than $3.50 for
a carriage hired for funerals. a Uniform
charge OF 81 Is now being made
throughout tho city. The question has
recently been agitated among num-
Der of large secret orders which hire
carriages frequently for the funeral
OF members. and legal action Is OK
pected.
Tho present ordinance was passed
prior to 1899, and the rates for both
freight and passenger vehicles was
clearly defined and penalty for the
violation of the act laid down. 1t calls
for n fine OF not moro than IS for an
overchargc and fine not to exceed
$40 for refusal to render service under
the rates established by the ordinance.
Attempts In past years have been
made to have the City Council either
raise the rates on carriages, or to re-
peal tho ordinance, but all have been
unsuccessful. Llverymen contend that
it is impossible to feed tho horses. pay
for the upkeep and wear and tear on
the vehicles. pay the drivers n regular
daily wage, and charge less than 81 for
"a carriage to attend funerals. The in
crease in prices went into effect in
December.
Few of the local funeral directors
own their own vehicles. but depend
upon the public stables for carriages.
Consequently. they arc called upon to
pay tho full price to the liverymen and
reimburse themselves through n charge
to their patrons. Practically all. how
ever. advocate n change in the ordi-
nance.
