TAXING THE TAXI.
NEED OF BY-LAWS
At the meeting of the Borough Council last night the annual fee for motor cars plying for hire within the Borough was fixed at £2 10s, and the opinion was expressed that the by-laws would have to be revised in order to deal with traffic of that'kind. Cr McLean said,that next summer would be marked by the advent of the motor 'bus in Whangarei, and he considered that it would be unfair to tax-them thelsame as a 'motor car wfrich could. carry" ,only five passengers. ; Cr Harrison: There is nothing to prevent us fixing a charge for inotbr 'buses. The Mayor: We cannot at present but 1 think that we will have to make-' a separate by-law ..to. deal with them.
