COUNCIL (Continued from Page 1) ed by the cab firm operators, Mr. Wright said, for two purposes -to get the full return on what the cab corns and to allow the public to get value received. Metered fares will prevent both the grittic and the operators from "being fleeced." he Use of meters will prevent overcharging passengers and the turning In of only the legal fare by the driver, he said. As basis for rate increase, Mr.

Wright cited the Increase in car and tire costs and living costs 1eL general since 1944. when the fat 35-cent rate was set by city ordinance. The new ordinance also would restrict the number of cave operating In Blytheville to a ration of onc taxi for each 1,000 residents. However, Mr. Wright explained, there 30 cab permits now in effect.

and this number would not be nltered by the ordinance. Should cub permit be forfeited, however, na new one could be issued until the cab-population ratio were reached. This restriction is similar to those in effect in many other cities, he said. such as and Little Rack. He said officials and cob operators in other cities hind told him Blytheville, on a population basis, was "over-cabbed." All the provisions of the earlier ordinances controlling operation of cobs here arc contained in the new ordinance.

These Include requirements operator permits, chautfers licenses for drivers, Insurance coverage. the $50 per cab privilege license fee, and fines and license suspensions for violations. provisions also state that no more than five persona can be carried in one cal and prohibit "cruising" for customers. Drivers also are required to provide customers with recelpts it demanded by the passenger and must have the consent of the passenger Arst hiring the cab before another customer can be picked up on the 3ame trip. An emergency clause in the ordinance would place it in effect usion passage by the Council.

Another elfcet of this ordinance. Wright sald, would be to end the operation of cabs weekends here. 'These cabs, he said. pay no privilege liceuscs and have no permits issued by the city. Mayer Blodgett appointed Aldermen John Caudill, J.

L. Nabers and Homer Wilson to study the proposed ordinance.
