Taxi-Cab Fares Up. ▲ sów Order by the Home Secretary fixing the taxi cab fares at la for the first mile and "2d.) for every additional quarter of a mile, came into operation on October 15. This represents an ihersass of 40, on the... first - mile only, bat no increase on distances. beyond that. The only class who seo satisfied with the Order' sro, it is said, "the owner-drivers, who] will find the additional pence s Help in meeting the high price of petrol and tyres. One effect will almost certainly be the stopping of tips. Afare who, at present, pays 83 for a short ride of a mile or onder, invariably giver a tip, probably pays the even shilling, Now, however, there will be little inclination to add anything to the minimum fare. The majority of taxi driverà in London are am- `ployees of the big firms, and it ́ia||||
they who are most diseaticfied with the new order. At present these men get 25 per cent, of the registered fare and all tips, and make on an average from £3 to dd a week.
