Gentlemen:
I would like to have our taxi franchise changed to fourteen cabs an increase

order three new cars and.get delivery of them as soon as the 1963 models come
out in September. I also have.to order new radios and meters and this takes
about six weeks delivery.
We have had such a large increase in business it makes it necessary to have
at least two more taxi cabs if we are to maintain good service this winter.
Since November 1, 1961 which is the start of -our new year we have increased
our business in eight months $25,605.95 over the preceding years same eight
months. From November 1, 1960 to July 1, 1961 we did $68,402.00 and from
November 1, 1961 to July 1, 1962 we did $94,008.00. This is a 37 per cent gain
for the eight months.
