over our strongest protest" 1t was
also pointed out that if the right of
exclusive parking is granted to one
taxi operator, it must in fairness be
granted to all who request it, and
parking space at best is very limited.
The two officials also asserted that
"the movement of taxis in and out of
the stand during the time when traf-
fic is heaviest is a serious menace to
the life and safety of persons riding
upon said streets and seriously inn
pedes the flow of traffic." that "seri-
Gus complaint has been made by out
of-town people who want to use this
space to park and market, and we
are driving business from our town."
It was further set forth that when
granted, this permission has been sub
iected to serious abuse, in that one
operator was granted two spaces, has
taken four, and refuses the public a
right to park in any of said Spaces
and when warned by police states he
is in his rights and refuses cOOpera-
ton. All of which is injuring the
rights of the citizens of the town and
is allowing a private individual or
individuals to conduct a business en-
tirely upon the main street of our
city at the expense of and to the dis
advantage of the other citizens"
