engaged in a ‘dog-eat-dcg’
competition.
Carl Tranum, who said
he opera'ed 19 drive-ycur
self cars, and Louis Lind
qvist, who said he owned
about a dozen such
vehicles, supported the
'Po ice Director. Also ex
pressing opposition to pro

the business were E. Leo
nard Brewer, chairman of
the Tourist Board; Atty.
David Maas, R. Barnet of
Bluebeard Castle Hotel;{
Ben Bayne of the Virgin
Isle Hotel; Mr. and Mrs.
John Jouett.
Atty. Francisco Corneiro
who appeared as counsel
for the Taxicab Associa

be passed requiring new
comers to. leside at leastl
fifteen daysin the island
before obtaining a driver’s
license. He emphasized
that such legislation was
desirable both from the
safety and economic as

possible for many of them
to meet their obligations.
Judge Alphonso Chris
tian who deplored the attemdt
being made to displace local
people from business, stressed
the pointi that it was impossi
ble for the taxicab drivers to
offer competition to the drive
yourself operators. He
pointed out certain deplorable
conditions that existed in the
community, including the so
cial and racial problem which
he said exists, but should not
exist. He was answered by
Atty. Maas who said ‘‘l am a
shamed_that the racial issue
had to be introduced in this
hearing by a fellow attorney.”’
Atty. Eustace Dench pro
posed that both taxicabs and
drive yourself ears be limited
to relieve t h e terrible over
crowding. Many taxieab driv
ers testified. Among them
were Clarence Husband, Qwen
Lans, Ulysses Pilgrim, John
Smith, Ernest Georges, Carl
Scatliffe, Elvin Donovan, Al
phonse Simmonds, Odonito
Blumerville, Guito Vanter pool.
