HIGHER TAXI FARES
CHRISTCHURCH PERMIT SWIFT ACTION . TAKEN (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The rise in the price of petrol by 4d a gallon was followed swiftly by an increase in taxi fares in the city. The metropolitan licensing authority, which convened a special meeting at short notice, was presented by taxi firms with evidence of the effects of the increased costs on the industry and had no hesitation in granting permission for taxi fares to be increased by 3d a trip. The increase will not apply to fares whkdi taxis are permitted to charge for service to racecourses from within a quarter of a mile of Cathedral Square.
