And His Old Timers TaxiOnvers State Case at Open Hearing (Story also on page 1) The number of taxicabs in Sa lem has been reduced and "we are making good money now," two drivers for the Yellow Cab com pany told a group of 35 persons at a public hearing last night The meeting was called by the Men's club of the First Congrega tional church in regard to the proposed renewal of taxicab op erator's licenses. The issue is to be before the city council Monday. ' The two Yellow Cab drivers were W. D. Nipper and Robert Ricketts, who objected because op position to license renewals ap parently was being aimed at their company alone, instead of also in cluding Shorty's Cab company. Faced. Charges . Former drivers of both con cerns, as well as those of the Cap itol Cab company, have faced charges of contributing to the de-. linquency of a minor. The Capi tol Cab firm is owned by uon Clark, against whom a charge still pends, and no action is anticipated on his license pending disposition of his case. Nipper and Ricketts also pro tested provisions of the new ordi nance preventing drivers from talking to each other while on duty. Nipper, too. protested a recent fine of $2.50 levied ! because he parked in a regular! meter zone while he had a picture taken, and added that one driver was told by police that 20 speeding tickets were "marked for" Yellow Cabs In December before any vio lations had taken place. 'Over-ZealOBsness Kenneth Torgeson, president of the Men's club, said it appeared there might have been "a little over-zealousness on the part of police in the administration of this (new) ordinance" regarding drivers congregating. He said one driver, at a meeting of drivers he attended last week, quoted a policeman as saying "we've got the drivers where we want them and we're" going to keep them there." To a question by F. E. Neer as to why the city council had not acted on pacific Greyhound's re quest to remove taxis from the bus terminal, Musgrave said May or R..L. FJfstrom felt the new ordinance would prevent conges tion of taxis there. Others asking questions lnclud ed Dr. Robert D. Gregg, dean of the Willamette college of liberal arts.
