Urging rigid regulation of the
taxicab industry and favoring ope-
ration by the meter system, the
Amalgamated Association Of Street
and Electric Railway Workers to-
day filed a brief with the Public
Utilities Commission.
The brief, filed through Attor-
neys Daniel S. Ring and Walter
M. Bastian, recited that there is
ample authority in the Public
Utilities Act to empower the COM
mission to regulate cabs. It pointed
out that there are more than
1000 cabs on the city streets to-
day in active competition with the
street railway companies, which
are rigidly regulated,
Comparing cabs to tramp

Regarding opposition to the
zone system, the brief declared
that in other cities which had
been subjected to taxicab war
fare, the zone system had failed
and was finally combined with
the meter system.

Frances intensely.
Grand, who prided himself upon
having a sense of humor, though
for long stretches Of time he forgot
all about having it, remembered it
now and laughed heartily. (Grand

laughed at all, except the times
when he "chuckled ~

It was sort of mean to laugh at
the precious baby, and besides, Ann
was still disturbed by the notion
that Grand was blaming her for
something, and she had no way of
discovering what it could be.

Fenwick family declared, along with
several million other families in the

never rang except at meal times.

before him swung the branches of the dismal

Once in the trees, he knew no Horib could

Nor could he ever get close enough to her to

His nerves and muscles we're on the alert and

unexpectedness of his act would catch the
