OLENICZ <br />South Bend Common Council <br />c/o Mrs. Irene K. Gammon <br />South Bend City Clerk <br />4th Floor <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Gentlemen: <br />Enclosed is an Ordinance which, if adopted by the <br />South Bend Common Council and approved by the Mayor, <br />would amend the South Bend Municipal Code as follows: <br />1. The rates would be increased to ten (10) cents <br />for each one -sixth of a mile over the first one -fifth <br />of a mile. Said first one -fifth of a mile would remain <br />at seventy -five (75) cents. <br />2. Permit a surcharge of fifty (50) cents per <br />trip between the hours of 7:00 o'clock p.m. and 5:00 <br />o'clock a.m. <br />This Ordinance has the support of both taxicab <br />companies in South Bend, Courtesy Cab Association and <br />South Bend Cab Co., Inc. <br />It is with reticence that the taxicab industry <br />requests these rate increases, but the continued rise <br />in the cost of living, specifically the high cost of <br />automobiles, of gasoline, and of maintenance and the <br />great increase in insurance costs, necessitate this <br />request. <br />Will you please have this Ordinance introduced for <br />first reading on January 24, 1977, and for public hear- <br />ing and second reading on February 14, 1977. Thank you <br />for your cooperation in this matter. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Kevin JJ. Butler <br />KJB:ksb <br />
