TAXI ZONE RATE STIRS
IRE OF MAYOR CURRAN
City's Acting Ruler Di>plcascd
by Action Of Public Ser
vice Commission.

The action of the Public service Com
mission IN ''sanctloning' the Westcott
Express Company's now M rate for
meterless ;aXicabs drew a tart statement
yesterday from Alderman Henry ".
CurTan, who is acting Mayor.
He does not question the right or the
commission, under a general law, TO
give its consent to rate changes mace
by cab companies which do not use taxi
meters and which operate AS adjuncts to
railroads. But he expresses regret and
establishment that the commission
should act as 1t did without consulting
the city officers. lie says that the reg
ulation OF fares by districts or zones
always leads to discrimination, and that
the Board Of Aldermen IN prescribing
fares dependent upon distance has fol-
lowed the only correct principle.
Mr.. currsn thinks the commission
was too Credulous' In accepting the
districts as outlined by the Westcott
lie finds. for example, that
"A passenger driving from the Grand
Central Station to the Thirty-fourth
street side of the Waldorf would pay
the first zone rate, 80 cents, hut II he
was taken to the Thirty-third street
side instead, there would he an extra
charge of % cents because Thirty-third
street IL in the second zone.
When the Aldermen meet again, Mr.,
Curran will ecommen further amend
ments to the taXiCab ordinance 80
that one rate will be charged through
out the city for general taXicab bust
ness"
