Threat To Transportation

other Jobs, a few tired cabs have been re-
tired to pasture in the junk yards, but too
many owners and drivers have frightened
their belts and carry on, one hand on the
horn and one foot on the throttle while the
brake-foot gets plenty OF rest.
Smaller pay checks and fewer people, to-
gether with the return of new automobiles
and the end of gasoline and tire rationing,
have dealt the golden days of hacking in
Pascagoula a mortal blow. AND the battle for
survival is on with cut-throat competition
just in the offing, if not already employed.
Taxi cabs, we are told, are running the bus
lines, hauling bus passengers to town for a
dime instead of the prescribed twenty-five
cents. That is the beginning. Bootlegging,
procuring, and the rest of the questionable
practices of cab-glutted towns will follow.
Buses, with their heavier operating ex-
pense, will be the first casualty unless the
practice is halted. Legitimate cabs, with safe
dependable equipment will then be forced to
join the fray or close up shop.
The city has an ordinance providing that
cabs must operate from a regular stand with
a telephone. 1t also provides that they must
be properly licensed and insured. We think
the city should employ a full-time police Of
ficer to check taxi cabs and enforce these
laws. We realize that the regular police of
ficers have more than a full-time job with
their regular duties.
Something must be lone or we will reap
a city without buses and with erratic and
unsafe transportation.
