WIDE INTEREST
IN TAXI PLAN

Proposed regulations Of taxi
cabs in this city, enforcing finar
cial responsibility for the owners,
are being watched with great in
terest by taxicab interests through
out the nation.
A copy of the tentative regula-
ton Of the Public Utilities Com
mission, on which hearings will
be held December 16, has been
forwarded to w. w. Cloud, Of
Baltimore, president Of the Ameri-
can Association of Taxicab Owners.
During a recent visit to this city,
Cloud expressed himself as in
favor Of more drastic regulations
than those now in force here, as
a measure of public safety.
The Ford Motor Company,
manufacturers Of a new type Of
cab, are particularly interested IN
q section Of the new regulation
specifying the location Of the gas
tank.
It is proposed that all cabs be
required to have tanks outside the
body Of the car, and the COM
pany, through r. B. English, local
sales manager, has made inquiries
especially along this line. This
part of the new order may not be
enforced except for replacement
cabs, it was said by officials Of
the utilities commission today.

600 Cases for Trial Show Police Court Tagging
IS MADE
JUDGES ARE
TOO FEW

With 900 cases, including those
Of the liquor variety, now await
ing trial. the prosecution of &C
tons inthe olice Court is tagging
hopelessly behind, it was revealed
today.
Violators who have demanded
Jury trials cannot be brought to
trial for at least two more years,
save in cases involving violations
Of the Volstead act, in which case
1t is probable that the wait viii
not be longer than q year.
Such conditions, due to lack Of
courts and judges to preside, re-
suit in defeating the ends Of jus
tice In many instances. There
are cases, not infrequent, In
which the arreSting officer has
left the force, or died, or the de-
PENDANT or witnesses have died
before the accused can be brought
to trial.
Kept IN JAN
Sometimes, through no fault Of
the prosecuting attorney, de-
PENDANTS are kept in jail for long
periods before they can be brought
to trial. James Wise, charged
with carrying a deadly weapon,
has been in Jail since October 10,
pending a Jury trial.
Prosecuting attornieS find 1t
difficult to secure convictions on
cases which are many months
old, because Of the doubt that can
be thrown on the credibility Of
the evidence. Police drives, which
create q stir at the time Of the
arrests, often are forgotten about
by the time the offenders are
brought up for trial.
The number Of cases has In
creased greatly in the last few
years. But the number Of judges
to hear the trials has not increased
proportionately.
Increase Too Great
From 1902, when there were ap-
proximately 10000 cases cleared
to 1925 when records show $1,000
entries, there was an increase Of
over 800 per cent. At that time
a fourth Judge was added, but
since then there has been no adj
dition in spite of the fact that q
sharp rise Of almost 10000 cases
has taken place.
There were $4,000 violations
heard at Police Court during 1928,
but this year there will be over
100000, according to indications.
Until Congress appropriates
money for q new police courthouse
and for additional Judges there il
no hope of clearing things up. In
fact, the docket is becoming more
crowded each week.
