Chamber of Commerce and a number of independent owners and drivers of "for rent" cars, provides a heavy li cense for all cars operated as taxi- cabs, sightseeing cars or livery cars, requires examination of drivers and machines, Axes the maximum rates to be charged for trips arid prescribes the methods of doing business. The license provision is considered the most important. A license of $30 a year is provided for taxlcabs, J50 a year for seven-passenger cars, and $50 a year and 50 cents a seat per year for carrying more than seven passengers. While some members of the Council thought this license was high those interested in the measure contended that it was not. The ordinance, as drawn, provides that the cars may stand in the con gested district except on Morrison and Washington streets, at all times re gardless of the provisions of the pres ent traffic ordinance limiting the stops to 30 minutes. The cars so standing must be In charge of a driver at all times and no more than four of such machines may be parked within a block. The ordinance provides for a strict examination of all drivers to deter mine their fitness for driving, their knowledge of the city and the traffic ordinance, and their ability to speak English and their freedom from physi cal defects or disease which might cause accidents in driving. The principal interest tho taxicab and "for rent" operators have in the ordinance is said to be to rid the busi ness of irresponsible and incompetent people. It is complained that the regu lar owners and drivers remain in the business the year round and give pub lic service in bad weather as well as during the rush season. The fly-by-hight operator, it is complained, comes in and takes the cream of the busi ness during the rush season and then gets out. It is said the ordinance is aimed also to force jitneys to be jitneys, taxicabs or "for rent" cars, but not all three at the same time. TODAY-TOMORROW.
