that now charged by the regulation

]. s. Jacobs, president Of the
Baltimore company, and also presi-
dent OF the Luxor Taxicab Com
pany, has applied to Wade H.
Coombs, superintendent of licenses,
for information regarding require
ment for operating in this city
He says that he learned there is
still room here for between 500 and
500 more taxicabs, according to
the limit set by the Public Utilities
Commission, and he sees no reason
why his company may not be al
lowed the use Of the streets for his
tiny little cabs that cost SOL little
to operate. have a quick get away
and occupy about q quarter of the
space required by the automobile
taxicab.
according 10 jacobs, the move"
ment for the cabs is sponsored and
backed by the Indian Motorcycle Co.
The motor is the same type now in
use and the side car, large enough
for two persons to ride in with ease,
IL enclosed like sedan and per-
fectly comfortable in any kind of
weather.
It is the intention OF the company
to try the cabs out in this city. If
the experiment is successful, as he
claims that 1t is in Baltimore, the
chain will be extended throughout
the entire country.
The idea of the three-wheeled
taxicabs originated in Europe
where the cost OF operation is much
greater, Jacobs said, and has proven
so successful that he feels the pro-
ject cannot fail here. If permission
is gained to operate here, the cabs
will be on the streets before
October. Jacobs thinks.
According to Coombs, District Of
ficials have no authority to refuse
licenses to the operators of the cabs.
The quota of taxicabs allowed is
open for 500 or 900 more cabs, he
said, and even If 1t were not. he
does not believe that they could be
prohibited from operating here.
