Gentlemen:
IL possible, at your special meeting
of January 14th, 1913, will you review
and pass upon my application for an
additional taxi to operate in your city
and vicinity.
Due to the extra loads on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, which is 90 per
cent of our weekly business, l am
making this request so that | may be
able to give the citizens of Wyan-
dOtte, service.
The gas and tire ratiOning has
thrown an extra strain on my present
equipment and this additional taxi
will enable me to service my present
equipment and keep it in safe and fine
oil ma
Very truly,
ID. Ben Simpson
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and COuncilmen
City OF WyandOtte
Michigan
Gentlemen:
In your meeting of January 18th.
1913, my application for an additional
taxi cab license was tabled for later
date. The reason for this delay was
due to the '>arkir" Of cars Oh Eureka
across from my location.
Several months ago, we did park
cars on the north side of Eureka be-
tween the sidewalk and the euro.
when this was brought to my atten-
ton by the Police Department, it was
immediately corrected and since that
time | have never parked any OF my
cars there.
AS to the parking ofscars on the
north side ot<Eureka. across from my
place Of business, l have on several
occasions violated the parking restric-
lions. but In u great number Of cases
cars ARE left there over which | have
no control.
can see very clearly new that, due
to the HaYing of the RatiOning Board
in orr neighbOrhOOd which / am very
happy To have 80 close TO me, and not
being fOreSighted enough TO realize
the necessity for additional space for
the public until such an occasion
arose 1 have been penalized and 1t
will remain in my memory for some
time to come. / will see that this does
not happen again with any cars over
which | have any control and will Co
operate 100 per cent with your Police
Depa rtment and your Honorable Body.
During the year and a half / have
been i'm WyandOtte. l have enjoyed
only the best of relations with the
citizens and officials of Wyandotte
and hope | can continue To say the
same in the years to come.
May ASK you W pass lawn dpis
upon my application for an additional
taxi license at this time:
Thanking you for the fine cOOpera-
ton ! have received from You in the
past. | remain
Yours truly.
