TAXIS IN BRANDON STREET. Mayor (Mr. T. C. A. Hislop). I before the adoption of the report, said his attention had been drawn to the fact that the whole of the D.1.C.. front, age and a little more on the south side of Brandon Street was now reserved as a taxi stand. Formerly there was a stand allowing five or six taxis. He had had many complaints about the present position. "You will see the stend vacant," added the Mayor, "and yet motorists are prohibited from parking in this area. I suggest that the matter might be looked into. It seenw to me that the stand might be cut down by half." The matter is to be gone into.
