none except J. M. Weeks, who said j
he was ready to stand by his agree- |
ment, would sign, saying they would
have to have a minimum of $1 per J

three.
“We are not taking this action as a
fight on the local taxi men, and real
ize it is their privilege to fix their
own charges, but we felt that a
means of cheap and at the same time
adequate conveyance would be a big
boost for th'e fair, and hence we se
cured the services of the outside firm,
from which the fair association, in
addition to the convenience and sav
ing to the public, will receive a
share of the receipts.”
