WIRELESS SETS IN TAXICABS
A NEW YORK BAH Mr Bolan,' Police Commissioner for New York City, has issued an order banning the use of wireless sets in taxicabs. The police have received instructions to inform taxi-drivers that unless the wireless sets are removed or put out of commission by the time the order becomes effective their licences will.be revoked. Over 2,000 taxicabs have recently been put on the New York streets equipped with wireless .'sots. In issuing his order Mr Bolan stated that wireless sets tended to distract drivers, thus causing accidents, and to increase the din of street noises to the extent that when their use in taxicabs becomes general they will constitute a public nuisance.” It is expected that the taxicab owaers will contest Mr Bdlan’s order.
