TAXI DRIVERS.
PROTECTION IN CABS. SUGGESTION NOT FAVOURED. EMPHATIC STATEMENT. At a. meeting of representatives of owner-drivers of taxis yesterday, strong objection was taken to the etatement that the chief traffic inspector, Mr. G. R. Hogan, after conferring with representatives of the various taxi-cab interests, reported to the council that the representatives agreed that some protection should be afforded to drivers. The representatives state that at the conference with Mr. Hogan a resolution was passed affirming that in their opinion the protection suggested was neither necessary nor desirable, and that only one delegate, representing less than 20 taxi-cabs, voted against the resolution. A further resolution was passed to the effect that if the City Council still desired to carry on with the proposal to require all taxi-cabs to be fitted with a partition, then the representatives suggested that a partial partition of a removal type should meet with the suggested regulations. They suggested that an extension grill type of partition would prove satisfactory, if the council carried on with the proposals against the wishes of approximately 250 ownerdrivers.
