Third company not needed council denies taxi permit
Baytown City Council rejected a request to issue a permit for another taxicab company after a public hearing on James E. Harding’s Allied Cab and City Cab Service. A second reading of the measure failed to attract a second. The council also moved to pursue federal Urban Mass Transit funds for the Senior Citizen Taxi Program and discussed METRO service outside its area. It approved fire department radio system plans and bid readiness, reallocating unused police radio funds to the fire system, and added microwave equipment costs to the 1984 85 budget. The library’s Public Library Avenue was renamed Mary Elizabeth Wilbanks Avenue. Wilbanks resigned from the council after 11 years.
