CHANGE IS MADE
First Reading of Taximeter
Ordinance is Rescinded.
Amount of Indemnity Bond Is
Cut in Half.

. The taximeter ordinance which re
ceived first reading at this mornings
session of the city commission was
changed considerably from the ordi-
nance which had its first reading No
'vernber 26, the first reading being
rescinded this morning.
The chief difference between the
two ordinances lies in the cutting in
half or the indemnity bond or lnsur-
ance which the driver or owner of a
taxicab must provide before he is
eligible to obtain q license. The ordI-
nance still provided that the taXls
must carry the meters, and still fixes
the scale of rates which may be
charged. with a minimum of 35 ceS.1
for the first mile or fraction thereof.
But where the old ordinance de-
manded that the indemnity bona
should protect the driver of the taxi
cab against damages to the sum OF
$4,000 for one passenger and 10000
for two passengers the revised ordi-
nance cuts these figures in half, and
the bond is for s2,500 for one passen-
ger $1,000 for two passengers ana
$500 for property damage, in any one
accident.
Same Scale of Charges.
The scale of charges for the taxi
cab services fixed as q maximum le-
gal charge is the same in both the old
and the new ordinances. The rate
called for is IS cents for the first mile
or fraction thereof; 10 cents for each
additional half mile or portion there
of: 10 C. ats for each four minutes of
waiting time, and IS cents for each
additional passenger for the entire
trip. All these charges are based on
the most direct route between the two
ends of the Journey the passenger
wishes tSsrnake.
A maximum charge of 81 per hour
for the services of the taxi-cab may
be made, at the request of the passen-
ger.
The new ordinance, like the old.
s.1l provides that the meters must be
inspected by the city license collector
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-12-20

at Last every six months, and that
they must not vary more than 5 per
cent from the correct meter. The
provisions as to the driver giving the
passenger a receipt for the money
paid: keepink his meter with the sig
nal set so az to indicate whether hesis
employed G.. il carrying a passenger,
and such { her details, is the same as
in the old ordinance.
1t was not indicated in the meeting
this morning when the new taxi
meter ordinance wilT come up for Sec
OF. ! and final reading and passage.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
(By United Press)

\
 In the converted apartment house building that now houses the De partment of Justice there is one big room that always is filled with wis itors. This is the anteroom of At torney General H. M. Daugherty. Daugherty, who had the anteroom partitioned off as one of his first of ficial acts, seems the most visited member of the cabinet. There is a constant stream filing into Daughter tvs private room through one door and out through another opening.
 Inside the private office sits the Attorney General of the United States, on hot days, in his shirt sleeves. In appearance, Daugherty is the business man of the Harding cabinet. Few officials can recall having seen him wearing the formal morning coat and silk topper of the statesman, real or near. Daugherty affects sack tweeds of a conf fortable fit
 Informality is Daugherty's middle name when it comes to dealing with visitors. While the waiting visitors in the outer office probably are con- jecturing on the nature of the weigh ty matters of stateunder discussion within the sanctum, the Attorney General often is telling funny story. The doors of the private of flee suite are too many and too thick for the ensuing bursts of laughter to he heard outside.
 Nevertheless, Daugherty is able to get big loads of work off his desk. Within week after Daugherty took office he reviewed the complicated case of Eugene Debs, socialist lead CT, whose release from Atlanta pen itentiary had song been sought, and sent to President Harding a detailed Daugherty makes prompt response to the innumerable requests for rulings on matters of aw that are continually flooding the from the offices. of his brother members of the cabinet. De ,pite the work which constantly is bling up on his desk, Daugherty manages to spend large part of his ime away from Washington. Part if nearly every week he is to be ound in Ohio, where his family still s located.
