TAXI SERVICE
OVERCOMING OF PROBLEMS. CUR IST CHURCH AGREEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Subject to the approval of the Taxi Commission, on whose suggestion the conference was held, a meeting representative of taxi interests o Christchurch to-day agreed to operate generally under the conditions prescribed by the taxi drivers' award of 1931, with the exception of the provision of that award as to wages, and with special provisions regarding any overtime worked by owner-drivers. A wage rate for taxi drivers of £3 12/6 a week, plus overtime, was agreed on at the conference, and will be submitted to the commission as a reasonable rate. The agreement reached at the conference will also, it is believed, end the illegal practices which have been complained of in evidence before the commission. Having agreed that _ some reduction of,the number of taxi licenses in the city was desirable, the conference will suggest that this should be brought about gradually by the natural lapse of licenses or by voluntary surrender.
