Rome, June 7-Taxicabs nave Just
invaded Rome. New brightly painted
vehicles similar to those of New York
have just made their appearance, re
placing as many horse drawn cabs,
which have held sway in the capital
of the Caesars for centuries.
The taxicab, though welcomed with
open arms by the general mass of
Romans, has met for years a stonewall
opposition for the right to circulate
in Roman streets. The 5000 cav
drivers and livery men fought its use
and warned the city administration
that would be defeated at election if
the taxicabs were admitted.
This opposition has in a measure
been overcome but there still remains
some cab drivers prejudice against
rotor vehicles in their business. They
have insisted that the chauffeurs be
mainly recruited from the cab drivers.
