CHRISTCHURCH TAXIS
REDUCTION IN NUMBER QUARTER to lose LICENSES (Pi-r Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. One of the first steps to be taken by the metropolitan licensing authority in Christchurch will be 1o reduce the number of taxis at present operating in the city by 40. This will mean the cancellation of nearly one-quarter of the licenses now operative. The decision of the authority was announced to-day bv the chairman, Mr. J. W. Beanland, who said that the authority was acting on tiro advice of the Commissioner of Transport, Mr. G. Laurenson. Only by the cancellation of 40 licenses could the payment of a weekly wage of £4 10s to the drivers be made economically possible. In Hie meantime no new licenses could be granted, nor could transfers be approved.
