TAXI FARES.
The letter written by your correspondent Mr. J. Meehan does not fully set out the position. I agree with him that the City Council has not as yet expressed its desire or intention to raise taxi fares; Mr. Entriean, chairman of the legal and by-laws committee, made this plain at the conference of taxi representatives, and stated that he was adverse to any such proposal. Nevertheless, the conference was convened on the suggestion of the chief traffic inspector, Mr. Hogan, who recom-mended-that a substantially increased scale of minimum fares be enforced. It can therefore be understood why a compulsory increase is feared. Mr. Meehan states that the conference decided that a rise in fares was necessary, but I would point out that this decision was by no means unanimous, as the four A.T.T.A. delegates promptly dissented when the motion was" put, and that certain other delegates refrained from exercising their vote?.
