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.
Re-Appointment Board

told a nephew about it The neph
ew in turn ! told a Roseburg pilot
