$500 CABS CHECKED
IN LICENSE TESTS
Is Days of Grace Expires With
1900 Public Machines Failing
to Report to Officials.

The IS days of grace given Wash
ington taxicab operators for inspec-
tion of their vehicles prior to issu-
ance of their 1885 hack licenses was
ended today with l,500 cabs still to be
examined.
Inspectors for the Public Utilities
Commission already have examined
$500 cabs. The examination consists
of determination of the cabs me-
chanic.al safety. its cleanliness and
general availability for public hack
ing service. The license fee which
the cab operators pay on completion
OF the examination is $25.
1t was explained at the utilities
commission office today, however,
that several hundred of the remaining
$500 cabs probably will not be pre-
sented for inspection until September
because of their operators determi-
nation to keep them out of service
during the annual Summer "starva-
ton period" Such cabs will be kept
off the street until the resumption
of the normal business IN the Fall
when they will be presented for re-
licensing.
An examination similar to the cur
rent inspection is made of cabs also
in December when application for
license tags is made.
