Gentlemen:
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 to ten (10) cents
for each one -sixth of a mile over the first one -fifth
of a mile. Said first one -fifth of a mile would remain
at seventy -five (75) cents.
2. Permit a surcharge of fifty (50) cents per
trip between the hours of 7:00 o'clock p.m. and 5:00
o'clock a.m.
This Ordinance has the support of both taxicab
companies in South Bend, Courtesy Cab Association and
South Bend 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
great increase in insurance costs, necessitate this
request.
Will you please have this Ordinance introduced for
first reading on January 24, 1977, and for public hear-
ing and second reading on February 14, 1977. Thank you
for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Kevin JJ. Butler
