'TAXIS CHASED
FROM MALLORY
City Commissioners Order Cabs
to Maintain Stand On JEFF
fers0n Street Hereafter.
DOCK PROP OSAL DIES
City Attorney Holds Municipality
Is Not Empowered to
Accept Proposition.
DOCK PROP OSAL DIES S

All taxicabs while on stand must be
parked on Jefferson between Govern
| men and Zarragossa- in the fu-
| ture in accordance whit a decision
made by the city commissioners yes
terday afternoon. The decision was
given by Commissioner Hinrichs and
will be upheld by the other two COM
missioners.
Complaints were made to the COM
missioners by property owners along
the west side of Mallory court and
asked that the cabs be taken away
from there while standing The COM
plants stated that laws We're con-
stantly broken and loud and often
profane language were used making
the drivers a nuisance to patrons of
the houses along the court
The matter was referred to Com
missioner Hinrichs for report back
TO the commissioners with recommen-
dations. The original ordinance was
found allowing the taxi drivers cer-
tain place in which to park their cars
unless they have a building. The new
ruling will apply to all taxicabs park
ing on stands within the city.
The cars may be parked near the
depot or the hotels only for rea-
sonable length of time in which to
take or discharge passengers. other
wise they must be parked on Jeffer-
son.
Ruling that the city had no legal
right to accept the proposition made
by Elwood Mclaughlin in which the
city was offered what is known as
Perdido wharf to be used as the site
for the municipal docks City Attorney
Jones wrote communication to that
effect TO the commissioners. He
stated that the legal objection was.
that certain rights and privileges and
advantages were reserved by Mr.. Nc
Laughlin for his railway line and that
certain requirements by the city must
be met before the deed to the property
was delivered to the city
The original offer made by Mr.. Nc
Laughlin was that he would donate TO
the city the property along the bay
known as Perdido wharf appraised at
100000, and conditioned that the city
should build the municipal docks
there. The title would be placed in
any hank or trust company until the
completion of the docks and that it
would then be turned over TO the city.
He further agreed to allow the city
the right of making a channel through
any part of his property to the docks
The ordinance providing for the
rat proofing of buildings in the city
was read and passed for third read
ing yesterday afternoon. Before the
ordinance comes up for the third
reading citizens will be invited to ap-
pear before the commissioners and
present their claims. if any, as TO
or not the ordinance should
become a law. AT that hearing the
surgeon general, chief inspector and
other plague specialists will be pres
ent.
