TAX|CAb LIABILITY
MEASURE
North Capitol Body Impow-
erS Committee to Push
for New Law.

The Executive Committee of the
North Capitol Citizens Association in
dorses and strongly recommends that
proper legislative measures be passed
requiring taxicabs and taxicab asso-
Citations to give evidence Of financial
responsibility to cover personal in
juries or property damages. Secretary
James A. Crooks announced yester-
day. The committee Is authorized to
investigate and to act for the group
in this matter.
The groups proposal is to require
each taxicab association whose trade
name and decorations appear on taxi
cabs and the owners Of individually
operated cabs to deposit with the Di-
rector Of Motor Vehicles and Traffic
evidence Of financial responsibility to
answer for damages that may be
caused by the operation Of cabs.
Set-up Is Outlined.
A number of these associations are
organized presumably for the mutual
benefit Of the owners and operators
They maintain a call service. adver-
tise and permit decoration of the cabs
in order to create the idea that the
organization is large and responsible
concern. Some Of these associations
have no assets and no interest in the
cabs operated under the trade name,
Crooks said.
The average person in the District
has no idea that If he were to receive
personal injuries, whether as a pas
senger or not, or damages to his auto
mobile, he would have little hope, un-
der existing laws. of recovering from
the association whose name and colors
adorn the cab," said Crooks.
Evidence of responsibility, by insur-
ance, deposit or other means, should
be filed with the Motor Vehicles De-
partment to show that each cab and
association has ample coverage before
license tags are issued to the appli-
cant. he claims.
Private operators and owners are
now required. under recent legislation,
to show evidence of their liability to
satisfy judgment where it exceeds

ually operated cabs, which do not
come within the provisions of this
legislation. are permitted to use the
streets as a source of livelihood with
out assuming any responsibility"
Crooks said.
Adequate legislation In some form
is not only necessary, but urgent" he
continued.
Responsibility Held Small.
with taxicabs racing over the
streets of the District and operated
mostly by persons who have no inter-
est in the cabs and who are not finan-
cially able to compensate those who
are damaged and registered in the
names of persons who usually have
but small equity in the ownership, it
is apparent that for the protection Of
persons and property. adequate regu-
lation Is essential" he stated.
Financial responsibility would act
as a preventive as we'll as q protec-
tion," Crooks said.
