CAB DEAL
HIT BY DRIVER

The City Cab Company's re-
ported surrender to the Public
Utilities Commission order BAN
ming the practice of renting taxi
cabs does not appear to be a
bona fide one, according to
George E. Bowley, driver Of an
independent taxi.
Bowley sought to confer with
William A. Roberts, counsel for
the commission, today to present
his belief that the City Cab Com
pany's new plan of paying its
drivers Is per cent commission
on all fares taken in up to $375
per day and permit them to keep
all sums over that amount, is in
reality the old plan under new
wording.
Doing a bit of figuring, Bowley
claims that Is per cent of $3.75
daily is 80 cents, leaving $2.82
for the company-either as
rental or payment on the cab.
This amount for 365 days, he
calculates, means that the driver
pays $1,040.25 for the cab which
the company gives him as a
present" at the end of a year
elf his work has been satisfac-
tory"
Bowley claims that whichever
way it is viewed the plan is a
violation of taxicab regulations in
the District.

He commented sarcastically
upon the dispatches from Wash.

Hoover was busy on plans to SIM
plify Federal bureaucracy and re-
heVe the situation affecting farm
mortgages. He said:

Roosevelt pledged action on the

termed "the grundy tariff" had
been responsible for Great Britain
and other countries going off
