there is now enough locally in

County Jury Orders
Return Of Cab Fees

A Montgomery County jury yes
terday brought in a directed ver-
dict in favor of John S. Bigelow,
owner of We Cab. Bethesda, who
sought to recover $203.75 which he
paid in taxicab license fees under
the county's taxicab ordinance.
The directed verdict came at the
direction of Judge Stedman Pres
colt in County Circuit Court at
Rockville. The case had been ap-
pealed by the county from Rock
vile Police Court decision about
two months ago.
The jury's action yesterday
opens the way for similar suits
involving about $4,000 paid by
more than 100 cab drivers. Mr..
Bigelow's attorneys, James R. Mil
Ter and James H. Pugh, who also
represent the other cab drivers,
refused to reveal. however, whether
they would take similar action in
those cases.
Mr.. Bigelow claimed in his testi-
mony that the ordinance is invalid.
He said he paid the money in 1947
and 1948 under protest after he
had been arrested for failing to
comply with the ordinance. He
added that the charges were
dropped after he paid the fees.
County Attorney David Mac
donald argued, however, that the
constitutionality of the taxicab
ordinance has not yet been finally
determined and that the county
should not be required to return
the license fees until such a de-
termination is made.
