TAX|CAb EARNINGS
SHOW BIG DECLINE
S4.24 Average Daily Gross
Made This Month as Against
$5.94 Last Year.

Figures made public today by the
Public Utilities Commission showed a
marked decline in the average daily
earnings of Washington's 5000 or more
taxicab drivers. during the past year
and during the first half of April as
compared with the same month of last
year.
The figures are compiled from sworn
statements submitted to the commits
sion by taxi drivers of their gross earn
ings, including tips Analysis of these
figures shows the average daily gross
earnings during the first half of this
month amounted to s4.25, as compared
with an average daily earning of S594
during April of last year.
During January of last year the
average earning per driver was 10
as compared with S498 in January
of this year. In February, 1882, the
average was $5.95, as compared with
S4.88 IN the same month of this year
In March, 1882, the average wage was
found to be $6.l0 as compared with
$4.65 in March of this year.
The net earnings of the taxicab
drivers, it is explained, would be con-
siderably less than the showing of gross
earnings, since out of the latter the
drivers must pay their operating costs
including gasoline, oil, repairs and
other expenses. The commission does
not have available statements as to the
average net earnings.
