NEW TAXI LAW T0 APPLY HERE ON WEDNESDAY
City Ordinance Puts Limit on Number of Cabs to Operate.
Starting Wednesday, taxicabs here are fo be operated under a new ordinance passed by the Common Council May 18. The ordinance, differing in many respects from the one now on the books, had been pending before the city officials since December and was re¥ised five times before passage, Limiting cabs to one for every 1000 residents, or 364 for the city, a standardized license fee, raising of the minimum fare, monthly inspection, and new insurance requirements are major changes over the old code. Applications for licenses or renewals must be filed in duplicate with the city controller and must include the name of the applicant, and partners and principal officer in the case of partnerships and companies. The applications must be filed within 10 days after the ordinance goes into effect, with all licenses expiring on June 30 each year hereafter. Cab License Fee $36 The license fee for each cab in $36. The application must include the seating capacity, motor number, state license number, the color of the vehicle, the name under which the applicant intends to operate and a financial statement. Applications may be made for 20 per cent more cabs than each company had in operation in 1934 or for the number they had in service and licensed as of Dec. 31, 1935. Each cab is to be inspected each month under supervision of Thomas Tarpey, weights and measures inspector, and Capt. Lewis Johnson, head of the traffic division of the . police department. Cabs passing the inspection are to be marked with windshield stickers of a different color each month. All cabs not bearing proper stickers are to be stopped by police. The stickers also are to provide a means of checking the number of cabs on the street, according to Walter C. Boetcher, city controller.
City to Get $26,000
Mr. Boetcher estimated that the ordinance is to bring approximately $26,000 into the city’s coffers within 10 days after it goes into effect. About half of that amount is to be obtained through a retroactive clause in the ordinance providing for the collection of fees for last year. The new minimum fare for the first one and one-half miles is 15 cents and the maximum fare is 25 cents. The minimum fare under the old ordinance was 10 cents. The maximum fare to be charged for,
~ conveying a passenger to any point
within the city limits is 55 cents, as compared with the old fare of 45 cents. All 10 companies operating in the city are required to carry liability insurance sufficient to provide payment of $5000 in the event of injury or death of one passenger, or $10,000 for injury or death of more than one person in one accident. Rates of all companies must be filed with the Safety Board and are to be a matter of public record. Drivers must keep a record of all calls and trips, including the point at which the pasesnger entered the cab and where he was taken, along with the sex of the passenger. Under the new ordinance drivers are not to be permitted to solicit passenger and must wait for a telephone call or a signal.

Dutch Artist's Ancient Landscape Painting
Reflects His Country’s ‘Fight for Freedom
i
Hobbema ‘Landscape With Cottages’ Acquired by Herron . Museum.
The mobd of Seventeenth Century Dutch painters, whose desire to describe their homes and fields was ga reflection of the country’s fight for freedom, is caught in “Landscape With Cottages,” Wilbur D. Peat, John Herron Ar{ Museum director, said today. This painting by Meindert Hob-
bema recently was acquired by the
Art Association of Indianapolis. The date on the newly acquired landscape is not clear, Mr. Peat said, but it may safely be placed between 1665 and 1669, the period of Hobbema’s best production. With its groups of trees, scattered cottages, winding roads and cloudfilled skies, the work is similar to several of Hobbema's paintings, the director. pointed out.
“Work Nobly Conceived”
“The composition has been nobly |:
conceived and directly painted,” he said. “The subordination of detail to the larger mesaures of design has advanced beyond many of Hobbema’s landscapes, and leads one to hazard that this picture comes late in the list of his works.” The development of outdoor themes in pictorial composition was slow, Mr. Peat said. Landscapes originally were used only as backgrounds for figure groups.
History Is Recalled
Early in the Seventeenth Century a number of landscape artists arose in Holland. Among them were Van der Velde, Solomon, Jacob Ruisdael, Rembrandt, Jan van Goyen, Van der Neer and Hobbema. Birth of the landscape art school in Holland came when the country was struggling for political and religious freedom. Dutchmen burst forth in a pride for their native land, he said. No religious dogma was forced dn them, and there were no academic traditions to maintain. “These painters saw new values in the character of the topography, in the quality of the air and in the effects of light and shadows across foliage,” he said.
Fleet Influenced Work “The heroic deeds of thier small fleet during the struggle with Spain made every Dutchman familiar with the ocean, and a keen observer of ‘its moods and colors. Canals, windmills, fields and hamlets became their models.” Following his marriage to the cook of Lambert Reynst, the burgomaster of Amsterdam, Hobbema received a municipal appointment, and gave up painting in 1669. The job was to estimate the contents in wine casks imported in Amsterdam, Still Making Profits By Unitcd Press TOLEDQ, ‘June 1—Four of Toledo’s closed banks still are making a sizeable profit for their depositors.
