While White noted that the

hi .'a related matter, THE
LEADER learned this week that
the .court order stopping the
village from issuing four medal-lions
to Reliable Car Service was
'based, upon a sectioii of ^
-vQlage- law-which called' for an
investigation by the Board of
Trustees before • issuing any
new taxi licenses.
The law provides that upon
filing for such licenses, an
inv^gation must take place as
to the number of operators
licensed, the number of taxicabs
in operation and the needs for
additiona] cabs, as well as the
effect on traffic conditions, the
