the commission was warned by repre-
sentatives of the Hotel Mems Associa-
ton at the hearing that the hotel men
contend they are within their legal
rights in leasing the closed stands.
Since the hearing, tentative deci-
sion has been reached on about 235
stands, but many of them have been

least 20 feet from. intersections, be-
cause they were too near fire plugs,

request from the TaXicab Drivers Un-
ion for space downtown for 43 addi-
tional cabs on stands during the
