CHRISTCHURCH TAXIS
WORKING AGREEMENT REACHED CHRISTCHURCH. October 2. Subject to the approval of the :Committee of Inquiry, on whose suggestion the conference was held, a meeting fully representative of the taxi interests of Christchurch to-day agreed to operate generally under the conditions prescribed by the taxi, drivers’ award of 1931, with the exception of the provision of that award as to wages, and with special provisions regarding any overtime worked by owner-drivers. A wage rate for taxi drivers of £3 12s 6d a week, plus overtime, was agreed on at the conference, and will be submitted to the Committee of Inquiry as a reasonable rate. The agreement reached at the conference will also, it is believed, end the illegal practices which have been'* complained _of in the evidence before the committee. Having agreed that_ some reduction of the number of taxi licenses in the city was desirable, the conference will suggest that this should be brought about gradually by the natural lapse of licenses or by voluntary surrender.
