TAXI MEN WIN
HIGHER RATES
Price Of Baggage Carrying
To Jump Forty Cents
After June 80.

The petition of the Terminal Taxi
cab Company for a continuation af-
ter June 30 OF it's existing passen-
ger rates and for an increase OF 40
cents over it's present baggage-car-
rying rates was granted yesterday
by the Public Utilities Commission.
The new prices will be effective un-
til December II next.
Passengers will be carried by the
company for 80 cents for the first
half mile and 10 cents for each ad-
ditional quarter mile. The present
rate of 20 cents for transporting a
handbag is continued. while under
the new scale trunk will DE hauled
for 90 cents.
The commission justifies its ac-
ton in granting the increase in bag
gage rates by the following clause
in its report:
The rates of the Union Transfer
Company. as approved by this COM
mission, for the carrying of trunks
varies from so cents to sl.25. de-
pending upon the distance carried.
IL the number of pieces of baggage
carried by the petitioner were suf-
ficiently great. it might be advis-
able to permit it to charge rates
based upon the distance carried. but
the evidence shows the amount of
this business is very small. In view
CT this fact and in view also of the
great convenience to the passengers
of the petitioner in having their
baggage carried with them to their
destinations. the commission is of
the opinion that the proposed fat
rate OF 60 cents is reasonable and
hould be authorized"
