Mayor to Veto Taxicab Ordinance Hearing Held
Mayor McClellan plans to veto the taxicab ordinance passed two weeks ago after a hearing. William Moran of the taxicab interest group and F. W. S. Oliver, license bureau chief, attacked the $25 per machine license fee and lack of a rate schedule. Oliver argued the removal of the rate schedule nullified remedial features. Moran urged fees reflect inspection costs and opposed meter inspections. The mayor said he would probably veto the ordinance today and return it to the aldermen.
