Gentlemen:
TELEPHONE 232 -5811
AREA CODE 219
Enclosed is an Ordinance which, if adopted by the South
Bend Common Council and approved by the Mayor, would amend
the South Bend Municipal Code as follows:
1. The rates would be increased
each one - seventh (1/7) of a mile over
(1/5) of a mile. The current rate is
each one -sixth (1/6) of a mile over t
of a mile. Said first one -fifth of a
seventy -five (7 5 ) cents.
to ten (10) cents for
the first one -fifth
ten (10) cents for
ze first one -fifth (1/5)
mile would remain at
2. The limitation against additional passengers would
be eliminated.
This Ordinance has the support of both taxicab companies
in South Bend, Courtesy Cab Association and Indiana Yellow Cab
Co., Inc.
It is with reticence that the taxicab industry requests
these rate increases, but the continued rise in the cost of
living, specifically the high cost of automobiles, of gasoline
and of maintenance, and the continuing increase in insurance
costs, necessitates this request. This will be the first rate
increase since January of 1977.
Will you please have this Ordinance introduced for first
reading on September 25, 1978, and for public hearing and
second reading on October 9, 1978.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Kevin J. Butler
