This schedule of rates affects

TAXI MEN WIN
HIGHER RATES
Price of Baggage Carrying
To Jump Forty Cents
After June 30
The petition of the Terminal Taxi;ab
Company for a continuation after
June 30 of its existing passenger
rates and for an increase of 40
:ents over its present hiRgage-farrying
rates was granted yesterday
by the rubllc Utilities Commission,
rhe new prices will be effective until
December 31 next.
Passengers will be carried by the
company for 30 cents for the first
half mile and 10 cents for each adlitional
quarter-mile. The present
rate of 20 cents for transporting a
r.andbag is continued, while under
the new scale a trunk will be hauled
tor 60 nts. t
The commission justifies its action
in granting the increase in baggage
rates by the following clause
in Its report:
"The rates of the Union Transfer
Company, as approved by this commission.
for the carrying of trunks
i-aries from 50 cents to $1.25, depending
upon the distance carried
If the number of pieces of baggage
carried by the petitioner were sufficiently
great, it might be advistble
to permit it to charge rates
based upon the distance carried, but !
the evidence shows the amount of j
this business is very small. In view '
:f tbir fact and in \1rw also of the j
jreat convenience to the passengers
?f the petitioner in having their
baggage carried with' them to their
lestinations. the commission Is of
the opinion that the proposed flat
rate of 60 cents is reasonable and
