OCTOBKR 7\ I Freeport Citizens Still To Register 1 . - _ . ^^ 5,00 Proposed Taxi Code Prescribes Zones- And Fixes Fares Sets 3 Areas, With 35 to 75-cent Rates; Hearing Called Oct. 28 A proposed ordinance establish- ing definite zones for the opera- tion of taxicabs with fixed fares ranging from 35 to 7f> cents lias been drafted by the Village Board. It will be submitted to the public for consideration at a hearing call- ed by the Board on Thursday night, Oct. 28. The proposed code was drafted by the Transportation Com- mission, oij which. »J. Harry Mc- Carthy is chairman. There are three proposed zones— a northern, a central and a south- ern. The northern area extends from Brookside ave. at California ave., as the latter would run If extended to .Pennsylvania ave., up to Pennsylvania and then east through Evans and Colonial aves. to the Roosevelt line. The central zone is from Ray st. north to the southern boundary of the northern area, and the southern territory all thaf territory below Ray st. to the water front. All zones would ex- tend from the westecn__to the east- ern boundaries of the village. Fares Same 1 At All Hours Fares as set up would apply to all hours of the day or night. Taxi- cab operators would be permitted to charge 35 cents for taking a fare anywhere within the central /one. that is from any point between Ray st. on the south and Evans or Co- lonial ave. on the north. A r» re of 50 cents would be pprrnlsslble for carrying a passenger from any point in the central zone to any destination in either the north or south zones. The fare would be 75 cents for. conveying a person from any point in the-north zone to another in the south or vice versa. The only variance from these fares is that a limit of 25 cents is fixed for each of two or more per- sons going from the railroad sta- tion to any destination in the cen- tral zone £|KMO cents each for two or more going from the station to any destination In eitner the south- ern or northern areas. Extra Fare Demand Banned One of the provisions of the pro- .posed ordinance is that which for- bids an operator to \demand or -suggest that any passenger pay _more than the' established rate,\ for taking hlm.'ip4.Jiis destination. There is a list of rules .prescrib- ing the obligations of taxicab opera- tors. One provides that \every taxicab js_ required^ to go to any part of the village ~at the call of any patron .and upqn the t.enu>r of the fare at the proper time.\ Re- fusal of a driver to accept a patron on the ground that his cab is not going in the direction requested. or for any other reason, will be a violation of the rule, according to the ordinance. Destination of a taxi at the rail- road station would be fixed by the direction given by the first fare to enter the cab. ' \Patrons are not «> be coerced, cajoled or threatened in the selec- tion of a taxicab they wish to pa- tronize 'by .any taxicab operator, owner or representative, nor shall any taxicab operator be discourte- ous to' or use offensive language, to any person or persons while a pas- senger is'-in-such taxicab or while soliciting transportation in such a taxicab,\ another rule reads.

These facts were rather confus- cr, a corlan amount of apathy be- ng apparent in some sections of Nassau County, comparable to that n New -York City where the low eglstrutloii was a bitter dlsap- lofntmont to all parties. However,, [opubllran leaders placed a differ- nt Interpretation on the fa flu re to eglster in the city and that In Nassau. In the. city they believed refusal to turn'out was due to the fact the Democrats instead of voic- ing disapproval of the administra- tion at the polls preferred not to vote at all, while in Nassau confi- dence in a Oewey victory is so strong the people have become apathetic about exercising their franchise. However, leaders anx- ious to amass a huge vote will get after the \slackers\ during the next two day*, as they feel over-con I'!-- dence is bad even in a year like this. - Registration by election, districts was as followsi^ ~\ E.D.
