The rates would be increased <br />each one - seventh (1/7) of a mile over <br />(1/5) of a mile. The current rate is <br />each one -sixth (1/6) of a mile over t <br />of a mile. Said first one -fifth of a <br />seventy -five (7 5 ) cents. <br />to ten (10) cents for <br />the first one -fifth <br />ten (10) cents for <br />ze first one -fifth (1/5) <br />mile would remain at <br />2. The limitation against additional passengers would <br />be eliminated. <br />This Ordinance has the support of both taxicab companies <br />in South Bend, Courtesy Cab Association and Indiana Yellow Cab <br />Co., Inc. <br />It is with reticence that the taxicab industry requests <br />these rate increases, but the continued rise in the cost of <br />living, specifically the high cost of automobiles, of gasoline <br />and of maintenance, and the continuing increase in insurance <br />costs, necessitates this request. This will be the first rate <br />increase since January of 1977. <br />Will you please have this Ordinance introduced for first <br />reading on September 25, 1978, and for public hearing and <br />second reading on October 9, 1978. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Kevin J.
