Kids Joy Ride AS Rates
Tumble In Taxi DISPUTE

1t was wonderful for the kids
while it lasted, but the taxicab
price war that brought prices down
to five cents ride had stabilized
with three of the four local COM
panies signing up with the Team
sters Union.
The three unioniZed cab COM
panies have brought up to dollar
ride again, while the company
which started the price cutting has
set it's price at fifty cents.
Secretary of the Anchorage
Transfers Local $50 was in Seward
at the time on matter pertaining
to the death of a union member
in highway accident, and the
three cab companies took advan-
tage of the opportunity to sign up
with the union.
Under existing prices,cab drivers
receive half the receipts of the
days run, and the other half goes
to the owner. Cab owners claimed
that neither the owner nor the
drivers can make expenses if the
rate is cut from a dollar to fifty
cents. Counting owners, the three
union cab companies in town en-
ploy nine men, according to the
statement of one owner.
The first indication Of a rate cut
was an announcement at about ,
pm. Wednesday that one company
| had cut to fifty cents. BY midnight
the price had fallen down to the
| five cent level.
That was when children came in
to their own. They swamped the
cab stands, demanding rides all
over town, from the soda fountains
to the skating rink, or even up to
the bluff addition for a drink Of
water. One cab owner evaded the
issue by giving the children a
handful of nickels and sending
them to a competitor for their cab
service.

POLICE REQUEST LIMIT
ON PARKING TIME

Chief of Police Leonard J. Clark
has asked that motorists be re-
quested not to leave their cars
parked all night on Fourth Avenue
in the business district. Snow
clearance will soon be presenting
it's annual problem, he said, and
it is impossible to remove the snow
when cars line the street.
The Chief suggests that car
owners find garages, or even lots,
in which they can park their cars
of the main street. If motorists
respond voluntarily to the request
it will not be necessary to set a
two hour limit on parking in this
area.
