seemed to be expecting a kick" in
stead Of taking it as bit of in
formation offered. They said they
didn't believe that the measures
were overreading, as they were
carefully checked"
Rate Cards Missing.
Several Of the cabs failed to COM
ply with the police regulation re-
curing that q rate card be publicly
displayed, giving the rates charged.
When asked for cards, the drivers
said they didn't have them with
them, but offered 70 tell the rates.
There is a dual control of the taxi
cab companies here. Part comes un-
der the Police Department and part
under the Public Utilities Commits
sion. The Public Utilities Commits
sion, under a decision of the Supreme
Court, has control over those cabs at
the Union Station, because they are
a part OF public utilities, and, in
fact. pay a fee for the privilege OF
getting the station business. But this
relates only to rates. At the Public
Utilities Commission 1t was said that
no effort has been made to check the
meters, to see that the public paid
only the published rates.
Under the police regulation the
taxicab companies are permitted to
charge SO cents for the first half a
mile or fraction, and 10 cents for
each additional quarter of a mile or
fraction.
But the competition among the
companies, which have rapidly in
creased in number, has forced the
rates down to their present scale. But
the fact remains that the public is
paying more than II thinks it Is, be-
cause of the inaccuracy Of the meteSs,

three times over the measured
mile from the marker at the inlet
gate of the food basin. It registered
accurately three times over the meas
ured course. Then a four-m course
was carefully measured out and in
turn each of seven cabs was called
from different companies. Two cabs
from two companies were checked
over the nea asured course. The course
was measured out Sixteenth street.
The route chosen was clean and there
was no slippaGe on account of ice or
snow.
The advertised rates were the same
in each case-25 cents for the first
two-fifths of mile and 10 cents for
each additional two-fifths or fraction
thereof. To be accurate. the meters
should have registered S1.25 just as
the cabs passed the end Of the desig
mated route. AS the reporter based
his estimates on a point just short of
the end Of the four-mile route he had
selected, the charge for the ride IN
each case should have been s1.15. The
curious thing about the test was the
fact that in six out of seven cases the
meters overcharged-not much, il is
true, but they overcharged, neverthe-
less, only one case being found where
the meter was little slow. therefore
undercharging the passenger. The
point illustrated was that If the me-
ters were running fast" by only a
slight fraction at the end of four
miles, the increase would be appre-
Ciable at the end of a longer run, or
several runs.
Test Limited to Six Lines.
For the sake Of clarity, the cabs
used and the rates they charged will
be designated A, B, c, D, E, and F.
1t would obviously be unfair to give
the names of the companies, as all
OF the taxicab companies were not
tested in the experiment. Those
chosen were among the best known
In the District.
Cab A. The meter showed 1925 sew
eral hundred feet before the end of
the designated four mile course was
reached. Charge. s1.25, 10 cents over.
Cab B. This cab showed the COM
pletion Of the four miles at 18th and
Riggs streets, whereas it should not
have shown up for two more blocks, or
at marked point on Q street just east
of 10th street, toward which all of
the drivers were directed. The cost
was S1.25-10 cents over.
Cab c. This cab ran over the
course and completed the four miles
approximately 200 feet north of 9
street, or approximately 400 feet
from the end of the measured course.
The cost was s1.25-10 cents over.

Seek to CUT Expenses.

The object of the reorganization of
the commissions work was to elm
mate all expenses for the duties that
now devolve upon the Dawes organ
ization. 1t was found in studying the
Dawes plan that there was a limit to
which the commission might be re-
duced because It is, with the League
OF Nations, one of tho principal or
ganizations through which the treaty
of Versailles is executed, and neither
could be abolished without a revision
of the treaty.
