Taxicabs Win
10-Cent Raise
In Zone Rates
New Temporary Scale
Granted After Drivers
Reject Honkin Plan
Earlier Story on Page A-ID

Earlier Story on Page A-ID
A temporary increase in taxi
cab rates from 20 cents to 80
cents for a trip confined to any
one zone was granted this after
noon by the Public Utilities Com
mission after a dramatic DEM
onStration by more than so cab
drivers whose spokesmen per-
Suaded Engineer Commissioner
Charles w. Kutz to agree.
The temporary rate boost will go
into effect Sunday night after all
necessary rate cards are printed and
distributed TO the drivers
A recess had been taken from
noon until pm. today after the
assembled drivers shouted their OBJ
lection of temporary scent rise
in the rate for a one-zone trip, Of
fered by Chairman Gregory Hankin.
Commissioners Divided
When the tumultuouS hearing was
resumed 20 minutes tate. Mr.. Ham
kin announced the Commissioners
were divided and that since a month
or two would be required to collect
data he had insisted was necessary
for final ruling, as to taxicab op-
Grafton costs, costs of living and
revenues received by drivers, the
hearing would be continued. He
said the originally suggested tenn
porary increase of 20 TO Is cents ap-
parently had been rejected by the
applicants.
Chairman Hankin then asked Gen.
Kutz TO make an announcement.
Gen. Kutz said he felt an increase
in rates for zone l was clearly in
dlcated and also it was evident 10
him that the size of zone l was too
large. Loud applause greeted his
statement.
Immediately thereafter Chairman
Hankin put Gen Kutz ION the spot"
by saying the appeal for higher
cab rates had been filed August 5
and that the commission could have.
but did not. collect data which could
have been used by the commission
for final judgment, as to costs and
revenues.
Urges Temporary Rate.
He said he felt the facts brought
out at today's hearing could have
been used as sufficient warrant for
setting temporary rate of 80 cents
for a trip confined to one zone. He
won greater applause than had Gen.
Autz, but Chairman Hankin pounded
the desk and said: This is not a
theater'
Immediately making the most of
a situation, half dozen taxi spokes-
men seized the opportunity to plead
with Gen. Kutz to reconsider and
to agree with Mr.. Hankin
After listening to these dramatic
arguments with a poker face. Gen.
Kutz suddenly sent the assemblage
into wild cheers when he said: L
will join with you, Mr.. Hankin."
The chairman then reminded the
delegation the commission would
proceed at once to gather the nee
eSsary cost and revenue data and
would expect full cooperation from
the taXicab owners and drivers.

Girls Demand
Sport Activity

Girls are just a. healthy as boys
and demand just as many sports
and awards as do the men Of Ypsi-
lanu High. To satisfy the fairer
sex the school has an athletic club
for those girls who are in the
upper grades and do not have the
privilege OF every day games. This
club is called the &c. A. c." which
means Girls Athletic Club. Of
fcers are elected each year and
dues for special parties are collect
ed.
However a girl needn't belong to
the G. A. C. to play in inter-class
sports after school The sports
for the year are field hockey, volly.
ball, basketball. swimming, and
baseball.
The hockey games were held at
Island Park on Mondays and
Thursdays after school. Each
class elected captain and play.
ed series of games against each
other.
The best loved OF all sports is
basketball. Every team played its
hardest to win this tournament and
there was much rivalry between
the junior and senior classes. Both
teams remained unbeaten when
they met on the floor for the de-
Gliding game. Each strived to
win and the juniors came through

girls are given certain nights after
school to practice before the meet.
then they all meet in the pool room
at p. m. to swim for the honors.
Spectators are allowed to cheer
their class on to victory. The
meet was run off much like a reg
ular boys meet except the girls
did not have as many dives. The
seniors ran away with the meet,
leaving the otherwise triumphant
juniors In the dust.
Last OF the sports for the girls
is baseball. Unlike the boys the
girls do not favor this sport. The
games were played off in tourna-
