Defective Taxis
Of the 78 taxis which received their half-yearly inspection at the Dunedin Motor Vehicle Testing Station, 47 were rejected for various reasons, the principal defects being steering (13 taxis) and brakes (14 taxis). This information is contained in the report of the Chief Traffic Inspector, Mr E. H. Barrett, presented to the General Committee of the City Council. The committee has instructed the supervisor of the testing station to arrange for extra checks on taxis between the regular half-yearly examinations.
