The problem Of whether the Dis
trict unwittingly has undertaken to
control rates charged by undertakes
for use Of their funeral cars ricochet-
ed from ONCE to Office at the District
Building today, with no immediate
solution in sight.
The question revolved around an
order by the Commissioners requiring
that special business licenses be oh
tanned for funeral cars. The order
was effective August Is, and funeral
directors today were being notified
to comply.
According to Assistant Corporation
Counsel Edward w. Thomas. the
funeral cars are classified as vehicles
for hire and for each the SIS tax
fee license must be obtained. Also,
he said, each driver of such car must
have a S. operators permit.
Thomas further interprets the de-
cision as meaning that the funeral
cars must be operated under taxicao
rates prescribed by the Public Utiii-
ties Commission, because he says the
licenses will be taxi licenses.

Taxi Rates for Funeral Cars
Loom as Result of ID. C.. Order

Commission Immediately disclaimed
any thought Of attempting to control
rates Of funeral cars and said they
did not believe the cars could in fact
be called ''taxis." They said they
had not studied the language Of the
applicable law. but would do so.
The prescribed taxi rates are 20,
80, so and 10 cents in the uniform
zones or 50 an hour on an hourly
basis.
There are estimated to be between
300 and 400 funeral cars. The ques-
ton was raised as to whether these
might be used actually as taxis- when
not needed for funerals. Thomas
said they could be, though he did not
think they would be. One funeral d.
rector said, "Oh. no, we wouldn't
want to do that" Unofficial opinion
was that the taxi rates must be fol-
lowed should any Of the funeral cars
be used as taxis.
Thomas said he felt he must
prosecute funeral car operators If
they do not obtain the taxi licenses or
II they do not follow the prescribed
rates. He plans to do so unless
halted.
