TAXI-CAB INSPECTORS.
TO SAVE EXTRAS. For a long t proprietors - f motor cabs have complained that the drivers failed in a large number of instances to record the extras on their taxi-met-ers, and thus evaded payment of them to the proprietors. Consequently they have now adopted a new scheme for the detection of drivers who are delinquents in this way, and the London Motor Cab . Proprietors Association. who represent the owners of about 7000 of the 7500 motor cabs licensed in London, have arranged for a number of plain clothes inspectors in their employ to walk about the streets and note the drivers who are carrying extra passengers or luggage. They will then report the matter t-o the firm owning the particular cab, and the driver will he called upon to pay the extras if he has not already done so. For a first offence a driver will he let off with a warning after he lias paid over his extras. For the second he will he suspended for one day; for the third, he lose a week’s work ; and for the fourth offence he will bo dismissed.
