to the present CITY ordinance re-
curing taxi cabs to operate from
4 permanent place of business

proposed amendment with them.
The existing ordinance requires
that cabs operate from a perma-

ment will furnish the punishment.

It was pointed out at the meet
ing that Pascagoula now has ~
cabs operating in the city, which
