Mr. S.A. Allen, owner of The Yellow Cab Co. next appeared before the Board and
requested that the minimum rate for taxicabs be increased from 15~ to 25~ per person, Mr.
Allen stated that he felt a 15~ minimum was too low and that it would be in competition
with the rates of his proposed bus line. Also that he did not believe the Railroad Commission
would grant him a permit to operate his bus line as long as there is a 15g minimum rate for
taxicabs.
Mr. Joe Gonzalez, owner of The Silver Mleet Cab. Co. next appeared before the Board
and stated that he was charging 25~ per person, except in cases where he picked up four
or five persons at the same location, in which case he gave ~nem a family rate.
Mr. G.W.Spencer, Attorney, stated that he represented all the taxicab operators,
with the exception of Mr. Allen, and that they did not want a minimum rate. Also that he
considered the present ordinance setting a minimum rate did not conform to the City Charter.
Thereupon after considerable discussion, the matter was taken under advisement.
Mr. John Gove of lO18 W. First Street next appeared before the Board with further
reference to the City Dump. 2he Mt~yor advised Mr. Gore that the Commission had inspected the
present site, and alsO,a~proposed site, and that by moving northwest in the present site,
they felt that he would get sufficient relief.
Mr. A D Rosier next appeared before the Board relative to the addition he is con-
structing on the rear of his building at First St. & French Avenue.
Inspector Faville advised that Mr. Rosier had not secured a building permit , and that
he estimated the construction to cost approximately ~lO,O00.OO.
Mr. Rosier stated that he esltmated the building would only cost him $5,000.00 due to
the fact that he was buying aL1 his materials direct and not from the local suppliers, and
that he did not want his assessed valuation b~ ~ = ~ln nnn n~ .... ~+ ,,_
