Taxis to Carry
Sticker to ShO,U
Insurance Paid

Beginning October 2, taxicab opera
tors will be required to post an oficial
sticker on the lower right-hand cor
ner Of the windshields of the cabs, as
evidence that they carry liability in
surance, bond or sinking, under an
order issued yesterday by the Public
Utilities Commission.
A new sticker must be affixed each
week, the commission said, as an indi-
cation that the financial protection
to the public is kept up to date. The
weekly change is required since most
taxicab operators use the insurance
plan, instead Of sinking fund OF bonds,
and are permitted to pay their premi-
ums weekly.
Compulsory liability went into force
August 20. but several days of grace
were permitted because the law was
new.
The form of the Official stickers will
be prescribed within a few days by
the commission. 1t will issue the
"certificates' to the companies writing
the insurance and 1t will be up to
them to distribute the separately num-
bered forms to the cab owners. The
stickers will be in force from 1901
am. Sunday to midnight the following
Saturday.
