Utilities Board
Will Ask Curb
On Taxi iCruising
Appeal to Drivers
To Urge Cooperation
In Saving Gasoline

The Public Utilities Commission
today is preparing to make direct
appeal to all taxicab drivers in the
District to voluntarily cooperate in
the gasoline conservation program
by cutting down on cruising.
Elmo Milligan, executive secre-
tary Of the commission, said letters
containing the appeal would be
sent to all drivers, ,owner-operatorS,
taxicab associations and companies
Thursday. This move was decided
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes to
curb cruising activities of taxicabs
as means of saving gas.
At the same time the commission
directed its chief engineer, Fred A.
Sager, to study other methods Of
eliminating unnecessary cruising.
He is expected to submit report
later.
Doubt Regulation Is Practical.
Commission officials have ex-
pressed doubt that a regulation
prohibiting cruising would be prac-
tical, since it would be almost i'm
possible of enforcement. One mem
ber of the commission staff said he
felt it would almost be necessary
to assign policeman to each cab
to carry out such a program.
Secretary Milligan said it had
been noted that cab drivers were
not using the hack stands recently
set up at number of fire hydrant
zones throughout the congested
| downtown area. He said the driv-
| ers would be urged in the commits
sion's formal appeal to make use
| of these stands, as well as other
+ taxicab stands throughout the city,
instead of cruising.
Mr.. Milligan said the commission
also had been requested by Deputy
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ralph K.
| Davies to determine whether any
! thing can be done to prevent taxi
| cabs serving the Washington Ma
tional Airport from dead heading"
to or from the airport.
Has Exclusive Contract.
| Under the present arrangement
Airport Transport. Inc. has an ex-
elusive contract for carrying pas
sengers from the airport to the Dis
tract. Usually they must make the
return trip empty. Other taxicabs
are permitted to take passengers TO
| the airport, but they cannot take
fares from the airport to the city,
so they must come back empty.
Mr.. Davies made the request after
receiving a letter f:om Senator,
who suggested that great deal OF
gasoline might be saved by a diff
ferent method of handling the air.
| port passenger service.
Mr.. Milligan said the request had
been referred to Corporation Coun-
sci Richmond B. Keech.
