Taxicab Ordinance
Electrical Code
Aired at Hearing

Taxicab drivers in the county
protested poaching on their pre-
serves by District drivers, and
county electricians objected to
"sundowner" electricians at a
hearing before the County Council
last week.
The taxicab drivers, who we're
at the meeting held to amend the
County's present taxicab ordinance,
said District of Columbia cabs load
daily at the Medical Center in
Bethesda and at the b & o depot in
Silver Spring. They want it
stopped. Under present regula-
tions, drivers below the Maryland
line can only pick up passengers in
the County when they are called.
The Council said it has no jurisdic-
tion over operations on Federal
property.
The Council has under advise
ment an amendment which would
change the reasons for which a
taxi drivers permit may be denied.
The present ordinance denies a per-
nit to any person who has been
convicted of a crime involving
"moral turpitude." The change
would deny permits to anyone who
is not of good moral character.
In the hearing on a proposed
electrical code for the County, cleo
tricians decried "sundowners",
whom they described as govern
ment workers and others who are
employed in Washington during
the day, who take on bootleg
electrical work in the County at
night. 1t was pointed out that this
not only hurts local electrical con
tractors but frequently costs house
holders money if bootleg work does
not pass inspection.
Other claims were made that in
spection fees proposed TO be adopt
ed are too high and that a 60-day
limit on permits is not long
enough.
