Test of Taxicab Meters Stirs Accusations of Inaccuracy
Eight taximeter cab companies held a test in front of the Hotel Plaza to prove meter accuracy. Thirty three cabs ran a six and a quarter mile course around Central Park, with some meters diverging by 1 to 50 cents due to zigzagging. Spectators praised the meters but urged a tougher course, as officials announced new inspections and salary details for inspectors. John Brennan was sworn in as city taxicab chief inspector at 1,800 a year and will be aided by six inspectors at 1,200 each. The new law awaits a 60 day effective date and aims to require meters to match state licenses to prevent tampering.
