However, the main perâ€" formance at this particular meeting was held after the council had offiâ€" was over was the discussion of the taxicab stand problem which supâ€" posedly was solved and packed away on ice a fortnight ago. The riddle of where to put the cab stand is fast catching up to the late lamented incinerator problem as a thief of the council‘s time. This was apparently settled two weeks ago when the council passed an orâ€" dinance designating the west side of St. Johns, north of Central Ave. as the offfeial waiting post for taxicab drivers. This plan, however, was not fated to be a permanent soluâ€" tion to the problem. The large deleâ€" gation of cab drivers, their relaâ€" tions and friends that turned out at Monday‘s meeting gave credence to the rumor that all was not well with the practical application of the council‘s ordinance, The chief bone . of contention against the ordinance as it now stands, according to the cab drivâ€" ers‘ spokesman who plead their case on Monday evening, is that it has ment of income.

The council took the viewpoint that while at the moment it wouldn‘t return the stand to Cenral Ave, it believed that mos of the complaints of the current ordinance could be satisfied by spotting four or five cabs on the railroad‘s property west of the tracks to serve that area. The council felt that it was up to the cab drivers and their employers to work out a suitable schedule of rotating the men at the two spots so that no individual injustices were In addition to the appointment of Rex R. Andrews to the position of City Marshal made at the meeting of the council on last Thursday, the mayor also announced the appointâ€" meni of the Reverend Doctor Lewis W.
