 The colonists' indictment of Eng

It is significant, since the assertions that the Comptroller bill is designed to correct situation such as brought about the events that led up to the writing and signing of the Declaration, the appointment of royal. ist Governors and tax collectors is not among them.

of uniformed helpers. Both came in
for much abusive language from high

forbid taxi owners and drivers from
following such really human impulse
as to charge lower fares than indi-
Gated by the taximeter.
But the willy chief of police was not
to be -flustered by numerous protests
from a short-sighted public, well know

apparent generosity was merely a
subtle scheme to crush once and for
all the hundred and some-odd special
second-class taxicabs which with their
materially lower tariff had for the past
year proved a serious competition TO
the large majority OF more comfortable
and classy taxicabs with their higher
fare. The final edict of the police that
clinched all further argument was
that fery taxi driver would be obliged
TO charge no more and no less than

car and that falling to do SO the car 8
