PROTEST
NEW TAXI MEASURE:
Spokesman for Several
Groups Appear at Hearing
Before Senate Group.

The bill to give the Public Utilities
Commission authority to regulate taxi
cabs was opposed In its present form
by spokesman for several groups Of cab
operators at a hearing before the Sen
ate District committee yesterday after
noon, in the course of which various
changes in the proposed method Of
regulation were suggested.
The purpose Of the bill was explained
by Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chairman
OF the commission, who said 1t would
empower the commission to require
financial responsibility, to regulate rates
and to require applicants for new serv-
ice to obtain certificates Of convenience
and necessity. The bill also would en-
able the commission to designate routes
to be followed by interstate buses
passing through the District.
Patrick Gives Views.
Questioned by Senator Robson, Re
publican of Kentucky, as to what effect
rate hxing would have on competition,
Gen. Patrick suggested the Commission
could fix maximum and minimum
rate. With reference to the certificate
of convenience and necessity, Gen. Pat
rick said there was no intention to limit
or lessen the number of cabs. Chair
man Capper presided at the hearing.
Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel,
objected to the requirement of a certifi-
cate OF convenience and necessity. He
agreed to the other portions of the bill,
explaining that he favored reasonable
regulation of the taXicab business, but
thought there should not be certificate
that could prohibit new operators.
The provisions of the bill as drafted
by the commission were opposed by
Robert Harrison, representing group
Of independent hackers; Alfred D.
Smith, attorney for the Independent
Taxicab Owners Association, operating
Diamond cabs, and by William NICK.
Clayton, representing the Bell. City and
Sun cabs.
Financial Clause Too Broad.
Mr.. Hardison said the section relating
to financial responsibility was too broad
as written, and suggested amendments.
Harrison and Clayton both thought a
maximum rate might be established, but
did not believe there should be a min
imum rate fixed by the commission. Mr..
Smith said he favored regulation, but
did not think the bill should be en-
acted as introduced. He suggested that
the committee consider a bill intro

William L. Sudenga Of the Taxicab
Drivers and Chauffeurs' Union, sug-
gested several amendments. Sergt. Jo-
seph D. Harrington, hack inspector of
the Police Department, said there Is
need for new legislation on the subject

crate Army around Richmond.
They reported that o great many
Union soldiers in the Confederate

There is something about caring for

tary movement
Exercise !. Walk across the room
with arms out at shoulder level and
taking long steps. At each step, bend
the knees so the knee Of the leg that
Is behind the other almost touches the

other step. Take about 20 long steps
In this manner.
Exercise 2. Stand on the balls Of
your feet on the edge Of brick or
large book. Slowly lower the heels TO
the floor, then rise on your toes. Lower
the heels again and repeat the exercise
five to ten times.

feet OF the floor and rotate them at the
ankle to the right, the left, upward
and down.
Practice dancing steps also. SWIM
