ODT spokesman said:
This is the first order providing
for a co-ordinated taxicab service.
This Office hopes that some such
plan will soon be in effect in Wash
ington. The more efficient utiliza-
ton Of equipment and the conserva-
ton of vital rubber offers possibili-
ties of similar arrangements that
may we'll be explored by other taxi
cab operators throughout the
country"
The official pointed out, however,
that Washington's taxi situation
is unusual because of the large
number of privately owned cabs.
He said the plan may we'll succeed
in the Chicago section as there are
only about 220 taxicabs involved.
Engineer Commissioner Charles
w. Kutz stated that he thought the
plan ought to receive serious con-
sideration" in the District. Terming
the present set-up confused" he
predicted that the Chicago plan
would be discussed at meeting of
