BUREAU CONDEMNS
TAXI CONCESSIONS
Privilege "Unfair and Illegal y
Report Says, in Urging
New Stand Policy.

Immediate correction Of the present
practice of granting exclusive conces-
sions to taxicah companies of hotels,
which it described as unfair and H.
legal" was recommended to the Dis.
trict Commissioners yesterday after
noon by the Federal Bureau of Eff
| ticiency.
The present private concessions. the
bureau declared, should be replaced
with public hack stands, and all hotel
concessionnaires remaining after a full
quota Of public hack stands shall
have been established should be re-
quired to operate exclusively for the
accommodation Of hotel guests.
Reduced Rates Urged.
The bureau also suggested that at
least part of the $4,000 paid by the
taxicab companies last year for con-
cession privileges should find it's way
back to the general public in the form
of reduced tAXicab rates.
THE present practice Of granting
exclusive concessions is unfair and il.
legal and should Immediately be cor.
rected" declared the report. I'm
doubtedly the public would be incon-
venienced If all hotel stands were
abolished since they are for the most
part in convenient central locations.
1t is accordingly recommended that
the proper authorities make a care
full study of conditions with a view
toward establishing public hack stands
in place of private concessions wher-
ever the need for such stands Is felt
to exist. AS pointed out by the cor
poration counsel, the Commissioners
have ample authority to establish pub
lie hack stands wherever desired.
Would Adopt l. License.
ut is further recommended that all
hotel concesSionaires remaining after
a full quota of public hack stands has
been established be required to oper.
ate exclusively for the accommoda.
ton of hotel guests and to equip their
taxicabs with l. license plateS--such
plates being intended for livery as dis
tinguished from public hacking serv-
ice. The number of such livery cars
to be allowed should be carefully de-
termined in each case"
The Commissioners have had un.
der consideration for some time rec.
concentration from Maj. Edwin Is.
Hesse, superintendent of police, for
the establishment Of public hack
stands at certain designated points in
the downtown section. Action has
not been taken on these recommends
tons. however, because of the desire
Of the Commissioners to make a thor
ough study of the possible effects of
the public hack stands on the automo-
bile parking situation.

Despite the weather records, the
summer season officially opened
some time ago, and one could hardly
offer complaints to the weather man
for the marvellous cool days, but
with the advent of Independence

tinct change in conditions, and brac-
ing sea air and warm sunshine have
irresistably drawn Milford people to
the nearby resorts, which have
happily taken on the brilliant pic
lures of midsummer. Notwithstand-
ing, the scenes have often shifted
to the drawing-room and sun parlor,
| for, contrary to the usual summer
custom, entertaining is still going
on in Milford with mid-winter speed,
mostly in the form of bridge parties
On last Thursday afternoon, Mrs.
T. Carlisle Collins gave the first OF

Mrs. ]. S, Hallett on the same day
was hostess at a bridge shore"
luncheon in her very attractive cot
tage at Ocean City. The strong sea
breeze forced her to entertain, in
door instead of on the porch as had
been her intention, but those from
Milford who invited to the affair,
say that it was most delightful in
| every way. Mrs. R. A. Derrickson
received the prize for high score
and Miss Bessie Gillespie for low
