TAXI-CAB LICENSING
A point of particular importance to iaxi owners was brought up in the Dunediu Police Court when Mr. D. A. Solomon, in defence of a client, who was charged with operating a motor vehicle without a warrant of fitness, contended that under a sub-section of the regulations taxi-cabs were exempt from this provision owing to the peculiar requirements they had to fulfil in other respects. When applying to the licensing authority, the City Corporation, for a licence to carry passengers for hire, he said, the applicant had to produce a certificate of fitness.. After hearing some legal argument, the magistrate ruled that in the circumstances the corporation was a competent licensing authority, and, under the subsection of the regulations, there was no legal obligation for a subsequent war-rant-to-be-procured. , , .
