"They are a grand bunch, and I have not had one case of cry- ing off a tough job. The nor- mal single fare is charged for all-night calls."

In their last bulletin Liverpool Council of Social Service attacked the conduct of taxi-drivers. who changed Serv:cemen and officer double fares during night alerts and sometimes appeared reluctant to venture out even when there was no gunfire.
