The number of loans made be-
tween February and July 81 was

Recent Ruling to Be Enforced
Only If Fares Are Cut Below
20 Cents, It Is Indicated

The recently announced ruling
OF the Public Utilities Commission
that taxicab concerns wishing to
change their rates must file no.
tice Of the change with the COM
mission 10 days before the change
becomes effective, apparently is
not to be applied in cases where
there is no cutting below the
accepted minimum of 20 cents
for the first zone.
This became apparent today
when the commission permitted
the Bell and City cab companies
TO change their rates without
notice. Both companies are re-
ducing their rates from the Sched-
ule of 25-5O-75 cents for the three
zones to the 2O-4O-6O-ccnt rate
Of their competitors.
Another application was re-
ceived from the Broadmoor Cab
Company. asking to raise its rate
from Is to 20 cents tor the first
zone. This application will be
granted without the Today notice,
as soon as it is put into proper
form, it was indicated.
Harleigh H. Hartman, vice
chairman of the commission, to-
day said that his group would
continue it's "hands-off policy in
the taxi situation unless there
is another price-cutting war.
