during the rush hours when the
many delays will make riding in
them one of the most expensive of
all trips. The meter works Just as
fast when the rah Is standing still
as when It is under way., as in all
towns.
The rate average« twenty cents
a mile after the first quarter of a
mile, which Is flfteent cents, and
visitors wonder how autos of the
highest price makes can be used
for such a cheap service The cars
are specially made to stand up to
the wear and tear of the city streets
and the frequent use of brakes.
All New York taxies must be
built to carry not fewer than five
passengers, which Is the reason
why there are no Fond taxies used
here Efforts to introduce Fords
have met with failure, as a car to
conform to the law requires a long
er wheel base than that of the low
priced car. Many Tammany offl
clals own stock in some of the big
taxi companies, and have opposed
any change In the law. the results
being that the streets are clut
tered up with long taxicabs when
smaller cars would do quite as
well.
The verage taxicab driver earns
about $35 a week and has to know
a lot about the city to hold his Job.

Cats
Whether the rats used to be so
plentiful here that cats were needed
as an offset, or whatever the rea
son. there are probably more cats
to the square mile In New York
than in any other city of the conn
try. All hours of the day one can
see them strolling about even in I
the busiest of streets and they are
not bothered to any extent. In
fact. New Yorkers are noticeable
for their love for animals and small
children, the latter particularly.
One of the most curious sights
of the city to one who happens to
stay out very late at night is the
number of cats to be seen prowling
about, ransacking garbage cans and
often, indulging in voice culture,
although most of the gongs are
given in backyards. Sleeping in a
back room in a New York house,
in a majority of cases, has to be
done to the nocturnal wailing of
tabbies. It is one of the least plea
sant aspects of the city.

Some T a ll Insurance
People along the "main stem" are
pretl} w.-ll c -e-tard-iK J t<- al
most all sorts of big deals, but one
business transaction recently gave
even city people a thrill. It was the
placing of an insurance policy for
$55,000,000 for three years on two
associate risks. The annual prem
ium was figured at $91,300. and the
risk was distributed among many
companies, no single one caring
to carry all those eggs in one bas
Use for Abandoned Farms
A new use for abandoned farm
may be indicated by the way many-
New York people, able to leave thf
city over the week-end or perhaps
squeeze a whole month or more o f '
vacation, are buying up deserted
country places.
Of course the men with money
buy only the choicest farms. If they
are located in the right country.
The professional man. with only a
compared rely small amount of
money, Is Just as well satisfied to
take over a farm that has been
worked to death, buy a few goats
perhaps, and turn them loose on It
and then more Into the old farm
house.
Some of these farms, with housv
dating back a hundred or more
years, can be acquired, it la said
for as low as $500. provided one ts
willing to go far away enough from
the New York City Hall.
Even abandoned farms will grow
fine shade trees and velvet lawns
while, with the proper use of fer ;
dllter. kitchen gardens can be In- j
stalled on almost any piece of
ground unless It Is composed of I
solid granite.

The property Insured was that of
the new Hudson River bridge and
the Holland tunnel, which runs
under the -same river and carries
millions of passengers every year.
Ag both structures are as near fire
proof as human hands can make
them the policy cannot be called
fire insurance.
Instead, the policy guarantees
against loss from any “Act of God,"
the country’s enemies depredators
and other individuals. It is about
as complete coverage as can be had
for such structures. The Port of
New York Authority, the interstate
board which built and operates the
two enterprises. Is forced to carry
such Insurance In order to protect
the bondholders who lent the money
to build them.
