Mr. Geo. E. Marshall also appeared before the Board in behalf of the taxi cab operators of the City and argued, that already the City had licensed too may taxi cabs and that to license any more would just keep the present operators from making a fair living. He also argued that Mr. Riddle was operating two cars on one license and had violated the city ordinance and that he therefore should be restrained from being granted another taxi license. Mr. Henderson again took the floor and argued that in his opinion all taxi cab operators had violated the City ordinances and that if Mr. Riddle had violated the City Ordinances that he was no exception. After some discussion by the Board, it was moved by Commissioner Krause and Seconded by Commissioner Corradetti to allow Mr. A. L. Riddle to operate another taxi cab from the stand designated at the S. E. Corner of the intersection of Second and Fremont Streets, near the White Cross Drug.

Stating that he had lost several jobs recently do the fact that the electrical inspector had interfered with him and had been keeping him from going ahead with such jobs in question. It was brought out by the Board that Mr. Rehn had with drawn his Cash bond from the City and therefore was not in standing to do electrical contracting within the City. Mr. Austin pointed out that should Mr. Rehn redeposit his cash bond with the city and that if his Master's certificate was in good standing with his license pay'd up, in his opinion he didn't see why Mr. Rehn would not be permitted to continue with Electrical contracting as he had done in the past.
