New Taxi Ordinance Debated At City Aldermen Meeting
The Laws and Legislation Committee held a public hearing on a new taxi ordinance to replace a previous vetoed measure. Arthur K. Wing urged caution and suggested study trips to London and Paris to inspect tax meters. Wing noted higher local wage scales would push rates above those cities. The proposed rates include first half mile 50 cents, each additional quarter mile 10 cents, four passenger taxicabs 40 cents, waiting time 40 cents per hour for cabs and 150 per hour for coaches. Frawley warned for financial trouble if enacted, while Merchants Association opposed, saying lower rates would boost demand. The ordinance was expected to pass at today’s Board of Aldermen meeting.

Fire Insurance Ruling Reverses Trade Exchange ban
The Court of Errors and Appeals set aside Vice Chancellor Stevens, ruling Newark’s bid to restrain a fire insurance exchange for uniform rates was unlawful. The decision declares that a contract among domestic insurers to regulate pricing and limit competition harms the public and is ultra vires, actionable by the Attorney General. The case traces to a 1902 agreement and a five year legal saga led by former Attorney General Robert H. McCarter.
