Tammany backs beer bill bloc in House as relief plan
In Washington May 7 the wet bloc led by Tammany is positioned to push a farm relief plan favoring light wine and beer. Representative John Phillip Hill says official Department of Agriculture figures speak for themselves and that Tammany will support no other farm relief. New York’s Yvoring M. Black Jr cites Prohibition harms to barley and wheat, arguing beer return would aid farmers, while noting volatile price drops and production shifts since 1919.

Taximen Back Metered Cabs with 80 Cent First Mile
Taxi leaders and counsel told the Ordinance committee they favor compulsory taxi meters and a maximum 80 cent first half mile rate, plus 10 cents per extra quarter mile for two or more passengers. The plan allows flat rates posted in cabs but not exceeding meter rates. City officials and taxi firm lawyers discussed safeguards, but concerns remain about sudden meter adoption affecting flat-rate business. The draft ordinance will go to City Attorney Delaney before Common Council review.
