CITY OFFICIALS STUDY MODEL TAXI ORDINANCE Traffic Heads May Take Over Complete Control of Cab Service. Taxicabs, portrayed by traffic officials as menacing the lives of thousands, today became the target of first steps to prepare an ordinance that will give officials complete control of cabs in the city. The traffic committee of business men and officials, appointed by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, Wednesday afternoon started a study of the cab situation. A model ordinance may be placed into the city’s traffic code. It probably' l will Include some of these regulations: A permanent safety lane for regular tests of cabs. Permits to be approved by the safety board for operation of cabs in the city. - Establishment of minimum and maximum fares of cabs. Regulations on placing call box and branch stations in various parts of the city. Captain Lewis Johnson of the traffic department "lives of pedestrians and passengers are continually at stake in cabs operated by incompetent drivers in this city.” He told the committee that majority of the taxi arrests in Indianapolis during the last year have resulted from the reduced prices. He told in detail how fenders and wheels of cabs were torn and battered in the drivers’ efforts to grab a 25-cent fare. John Williams, head of the National Association of Taxi Operators, wil send a model ordinance to the local organization for study. Appellate Court to Meet Special session of the appellate court has been called for Sept. 2 to pass on petitions for rehearing and handing down opinions that have beeij wrftten since Aug. 1.

for Mr. William S. Clift, 974 West 32nd street, this city. Mr. Clift said to the Konjola Man: “Two years ago Konjola relieved me of stomach, liver and kidney trouble, and I have enjoyed good health ever since. Food lay heavily in my stomach, gas formed, and I suffered terribly with cramping pains. I had to get up frequently during the night as the result of kidney weakness, and I was subject to severe headaches and dizzy spells. Constitpation also added much to my misery. “A friend advised me to try Konjola. I did, and was rewarded with new health. Soon niy bowels and liver were functioning nor_mally again, and headaches and dizzy spells disappeared. Then my food began to digest as it should; night rising ceased, and strength and vitality returned. As I said before, this was two years ago, and I have been recommending Konjola to my friends ever since." Is it not logical to believe that what Konjola has done for others it will do for you?

ed to aid the unemployed call for' an estimated expenditure of more than $2,500,000,000. New construction, improvement, road building and repairs in the provinces are among the long list of public works to be pushed so that workmen may earn enough on which to exist. The first material improvement, in fact, in unemployment already has been noted, with the official announcement today that the unemployed on Aug. 18, the last statistical date, totaled 2,017,957 persons—a drop of 32,780 from the official figures on Aug. 11. While this figure still was 855,673 above the figure a year ago, it lent credence to the optimism of the trades union congress that the peak had been reached, and the crisis passed. A number of industries, nevertheless, are hard hit by the depression,'] and ship building and repairing,! one of Britain’s greatest industries ] for hundreds of years, still is suffering.
