TWO SOLUTIONS
FACE TAX|S

This Is the fourth and last Of
a series OF articles on the tGricGb
situation in Washington.
There are only two apparent
solutions to the taxicab tangle as
it now exists in Washington.
The first is legislation granting
the Public Utilities Commission
more power, and the second,
economic pressure.
At the pre-ent time washington
has ls--.--J constituted body
powerless to enforce its important
regulations held up by courts and
having little congressional sup
port.
Bill Turned Down
A bill last spring provided COM
pulsory insurance or bonding for
all cab owners, that the Public
Utilities Commission could fix
rate schedules and limit the num-
ber of cabs.
The need Of liability insurance
has already been discussed in
this series, while the second pro-
posal would give the District
utility body the power to fix cab
rates much In the same way the
Interstate Commerce Commission
fixes railroad rates.
The third provision in the con.
gressional bill, which was turned
down. would enable the commits
sion to check the spread Of the
industry If their investigators
found enough cabs for good SER
vice to the public were already
operating.
Flat Rate Cab Cut Seen
For instance, the commission
could deny license applications
from circulation until it believed
more cabs were needed. 4
When business in the District
returns to normal many Of the
cheap, flat rate taxis will be
withdrawn and their owners re-
turn to more steady employment.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion is carrying on the legal fight
and renewed efforts will be made
when Congress reconvenes this
fall to put through taxicab legiS-
lation.
