STIFF fine FOR
NEGRO TAXI Man
Black Pays $35 fer Failure to
Remit $50 for Taxicab
License

K. j. Croxton, colored taxi opera
tor, will no longer play hide and
seek with City Marshall Pouncey.
This was determined Monday in 20
lice court when Recorder Fort found
CroXton guilty of running his taxi
cab without city license and fined
him five dollars, with the under
standing that he pay a $50 license
before siv O'Clock Monday evening,
but in the event he failed to remit
the $50 to the City Marshall his
fine would be raised from IS to
$35.
Croxton, for some reason or 9TH
er, failed to paly his license Monday
but called on Chief Bragg this morn
ing and left $35 with him to cover
the fine.
Now he will be prevented from
operating his taxi unless he spends
an additional $50 for license The
transaction will cost Croxton sos,
whereas it would have only involved
an expenditure of $35 had he taken
advantage of Recorder Forts COM
promise.
City Marshall Pouncey had tried
for seven months to catch CroXton,
but the elusive black managed to
keep out of his way. Croxton was
nabbed one day last week when lie
appeared in police court in connec-
ton with an automobile crash.
