Taxi Reforms Needed

We are right proud of the firm staNo the
town board has taken on the taxi limitation prop
lem and hope that it keeps the strength to continue
turning down various and sundry propositions for
scrapping present controls
Practically every city and town in the state
nIoce, some kind of limit the rumher OF t;NiS
that can be operated and this is Gone Tor purpose
not arbitrarily.
Taxis like power companies. telephone com
panies and bus lines. public utility ana must ne
reouated if they are to give the best service to the
public.
IF the gates are thrown open to all corners
there will always be some few who try 10 corner
the business by temporarily cutting rates ana such
- move will drive the good drivers, who demand
decent living for their services, out OF the business
Then the new ones will go up on their rates
ard still newer ones will come along with price
cutting. No one will be able to stay in business
rer,arv and service will get where it is not depend
able.
And if the doors are thrown OPEN some few
of the more shady characters will take to the liquor
and-women-traffc and Tabor will be faced with Il
bigger law enforcement problem than 1t has ever
known.
While limiting the number of taXis that can
operate however the town board should take steps
to remove certain conditions that cause just crltl-
ciSm.
l. When only seven licenses are available an
ordinance should forbid person or group Of
persons holding a monopoly near monopoly on
all the licenses. 1t would probably be preferable II
only one license allowed one man.
The town itself should set reasonable larcs
which the taxi men are allowed to levy; IN oroer 10
prevent a squeeze play against the public
g. The board should take action Immediately
to stop the trading of licenses from one operator to
another taxi permit issued by the town should
not be transferable Neither should driver be
allowed to come to the town and say, I'm giving
up nv license and want so-aCd-so to have it.
There have been reported deals within recent
weeks in which as much $1,000 has changed hands
for the right to taxi permit.
This should be stopped Immediately. The
town should have waiting list of drivers wanting
taxi licenses When one driver decides to give up n
license he should not be the person to say who gets
it next. The license should be declared void and n
license issued to the next the list-provided
ne meets the qualifications.

the Riddles, but we can tell you
story about that, too.
About two and a half months
ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Dunn
fulfilled their natural biological
destiny in the world and produced
a daughter. She was named Patricis
and Immediately became the pride
of the Dunn household. Since they
are working people-Mr. Dunn is
the pianist-orchestra leader at the
Mayfiower Lounge and Mrs. Dunn
Is Bonnie Boyd, who sings with his
orchestra-it was necessary to locate
the proper nurse to care for the col
leen.
Finally they found one and a
jewel among nurses she turned out
to be. Mr.. Dunn has only one COM
plant. The nurse won't take an
afternoon OF so Michael can in
dulge himself by putting Patricia
in the carriage and playing the
proud father while strolling down
Connecticut avenue.

Assorted Rails Gain
Slightly in Uneven
Bond Dealings
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK. May 1.-Selected
railroad issues responded to modest
demand in the bond market today.
The balance Of the list moved in
decisively In q narrow price orbit.
During the week the railroad
group reached a new high average
level for the year and today finished
a shade under the peak. Sporadic
demand for carrier stocks influenced
some buying. The possibility Of a
Nationwide strike among railroad
workers didn't seem to exert much
leverage as a price factor.
From q long-range viewpoint,
however, the carriers stand to bene-
fit by the recently granted boost in
freight rates. In addition, most sys-
TENS look forward to a continued
high rate Of carloading activity.
Czechoslovak bonds stirred up in
terest in the foreign dollar group
when sales. first since the Com
munist coup, were made at losses
running around $50 to $40. Sales
were limited but apparently some
investors were concerned with the
possibility that interest payments
on the bonds would not be made.
When spokesman declared his
government will pay all its debts" "
confidence returned and prices
moved ahead. Most issues, though,
had a long way to go to return to
their previous prices.
In the new money market Swift
and Co. took the lead with sale of
$35, 100000 Of 25-year debentures
with 2% per cent coupon and $10,-
000, 900 Of serial debentures. Solomon
Bros. & Hutzler won the two issues.
The larger amount was reofered
publicly at par to yield 2.875 per
cent. The serial debentures, matur-
ing from 1949 to 1858, were priced
to yield from las to ass per cent.
