Proposed Taxi Code
Prescribes Zones-
And Fixes Fares
Sets 3 Areas, With
35 to 75-cent Rates;
Hearing Called Oct. 28
A proposed ordinance establish-ing
definite zones for the opera-tion
of taxicabs with fixed fares
ranging from 35 to 7f> cents lias
been drafted by the Village Board.
It will be submitted to the public
for consideration at a hearing call-ed
by the Board on Thursday night,
Oct. 28. The proposed code was
drafted by the Transportation Com-mission,
oij which. »J. Harry Mc-
Carthy is chairman.
There are three proposed zones—
a northern, a central and a south-ern.
The northern area extends
from Brookside ave. at California
ave., as the latter would run If
extended to .Pennsylvania ave., up
to Pennsylvania and then east
through Evans and Colonial aves.
to the Roosevelt line. The central
zone is from Ray st. north to the
southern boundary of the northern
area, and the southern territory all
thaf territory below Ray st. to the
water front. All zones would ex-tend
from the westecn__to the east-ern
boundaries of the village.
Fares Same1 At All Hours
Fares as set up would apply to
all hours of the day or night. Taxi-cab
operators would be permitted
to charge 35 cents for taking a fare
anywhere within the central /one.
that is from any point between Ray
st. on the south and Evans or Co-lonial
ave. on the north. A r»re of
50 cents would be pprrnlsslble for
carrying a passenger from any
point in the central zone to any
destination in either the north or
south zones. The fare would be
75 cents for. conveying a person
from any point in t h e - n o r t h zone
to another in the south or vice
versa.
The only variance from these
fares is that a limit of 25 cents is
fixed for each of two or more per-sons
going from the railroad sta-tion
to any destination in the cen-tral
zone £|KMO cents each for two
or more going from the station to
any destination In eitner the south-ern
or northern areas.
Extra Fare Demand Banned
One of the provisions of the pro-
.posed ordinance is that which for-bids
an operator to "demand or
-suggest that any passenger pay
_more than the' established rate,"
for taking hlm.'ip4.Jiis destination.
There is a list of rules .prescrib-ing
the obligations of taxicab opera-tors.
One provides that "every
taxicab js_ required^ to go to any
part of the village ~at the call of
any patron .and upqn the t.enu>r of
the fare at the proper time." Re-fusal
of a driver to accept a patron
on the ground that his cab is not
going in the direction requested.
or for any other reason, will be a
violation of the rule, according to
the ordinance.
Destination of a taxi at the rail-road
station would be fixed by the
direction given by the first fare to
enter the cab. '
"Patrons are not «> be coerced,
cajoled or threatened in the selec-tion
of a taxicab they wish to pa-tronize
'by .any taxicab operator,
owner or representative, nor shall
any taxicab operator be discourte-ous
to' or use offensive language, to
any person or persons while a pas-senger
is'-in-such taxicab or while
soliciting transportation in such a
taxicab," another rule reads.
