Nuce, owner and operator of Park- Inn, Clearwater Beach, we respectfully submit for your oonsideration Mr. NuceIs application for a renewal of his present lease on the property on which the Park*lnn is now o).)erated. 'rhe present lease exp'res July 1951, and Mr. Nuce requests that a new lease be granted at this time for a period of ten years at a monthly rental of One Hundred Seventy-Five Dollers. The above request is made due to the fact that Mr. Nuce desires to remodel the inside and outside of the build- ing now l&oated on the Oity property, and he also wishes to add a room approximate~y l2xl8 to the kitchen so as to have gra&ter working space. It is estimated that the cost of the remodeling ana ~rovements wil~ entail an outlay ot approximately $4700 and to justify such an expense at this time, Mr. Nuoe feels that it is only reasonabel that he ask for an extension of the present lease so as to allow a reasonabbe t~e to amortize this capital e~penditure.

And ~or reasons in support of this petition, your petitio~ers oite the following: 1. .'1he applioant has fai~ed to comply with Section 1, Ar~iole 3 of Vity Ordinance n. 500, in that said applioation . falls to set forth th~ p:roposed plaoe of business the make and ot'vehiole to be, used. in the business, and the '.) . .: J .., . ; ',' .', :. ~ '.(' .

The applioant has failed to show compliance with Seotion 2 of Articles 5 of City Ordinance No. 500, which re- quires, amone other things, that an investigation be conducted as to the fitness of the equipment to be used, and the demands of pUblio oonvenlenoe, necessity and sefety. 3. The applicant has fai~ed to show compliance with Section 1 of i~rticle 4 of City Ordinance No. 500, which re- quires that a liability insurance policy or a surety bond be posted with the city before the applicant is allowed to operate a taxi-oab on the streets of the Oi ty of Clearwater, '"t1d that auid insurance or bond be approved by the 0ity Oommission. 4. ~he applicant has failed to show compliance with Seotion ? of ~rticle 5 of City Ordinance No. 500, which re- quires that the holder or a chauffeKr's license file with the Ohief of Police a physician's report of physical examination at least once a year. 5. ~he applicant has fai~ed to show compliance with Seotion 1 of Article 8 of Gity Ordinance No. 500, which re- quires thnt every person operation or controlling a taxi-cab within the limits of Oleanvater shall file with the City Manager a schedule of the rates or fares charges for trans- portation of passengers in such cab. 6. This is the third time within one calandar year last passed that the applicant has applied to the Vity Commission for a taxi-cab license. ~he app~icant first applied on September 14, 1948, and that application was deferred at tho meeting of the City Commission held on tieptember 20, 194A, and was later denied by the Vity Oommission at its meeting on October 4, 1948. The applicant'.again applied on January 17, 1949 and the City Uommission at its meeting of January I?, 1949, denied the said application for the reason that the applicant failed to show the pUblic necessity for the additional service. 7. Section 3 of ~rticle 3 of Vity Ordinance No. 500 requires, as a necessary pre-requisite to the issuance of a taxi-cab license, that the liommission find and the applicant show that the pUblic convenience, necessity, and safety justifies the issuance of such license. It was on the basis that the public oonvenience, necessity, and safety did not justify the issuing of an additional taxi-cab license that the app1ioation of the present applicant was refused on fanuary 17, 1949, and your petitioners respectfully show ;d;;"'; lfi~\~~J~~~f:! t- "~"'\"'"'''''''' ',> f'" , l~i);t~~,f0!j:~tif~r I " .,',.

Ward, & J. DlacXburn of Vity Taxi CompRny, the bookkeeper for Ware's Taxi Service, which statements show thnt the receipts of ~jare's 'l'axi ;Jervice &. City Taxi Vompany stendily declined for the past four years, and have mArke41y declined since the, date that the last application of the applioant was considered by the 0ity Co~nission. At present there are seven lioensed taxi-cabs in the 0ity of Clearwater that are idle because of ladk of sufficient business to WArrant their use, and one taxi-cBb business has been forced to cease ',L' operation within the las year due to lack of business. here have been no complaints of poor or insufficient service ffi8do either to the taxi companies operating in \J~ear"'lO.ter or to the loonl bus company. Even during the neak of the last winter senson, there was not sufficient business ~ keep all of the presnetly licensed taxi-cabs in 0lea~vater occupied. One the contrary, approxim~tely five of the presently licensed taxi- cabs were constantly unable to find sufficient business to keep 'them operation more than p8rt ime. ~he seven licensed taxi-cabs that ore nmv idle are constantly kept in readiness to answer calls end to serve the public wnenever there is a need for such service. It is the belief of your petitioners that if the pUblic nectssity required additional taxi-cnb service, the public would request such service and the now idle taxi-cabs would be busy. 8. ~he applicant is not a resident of the City of Clearwater, and is, therefore, not in a position to ~wk the City officials of the City of Cle-rwnter for concessions that will allow him to compete with toxpnying citizens of Clearwater. 9. The applicant attents, if licensed, to establich his plaqe of business within 100 feet of two presently exist- ing taxi-cab stands, which foct, when coupled with the applicant's past conduct, leads your petitioners to believe tha tit is the design of the applicant to el1[:age in ull.falr praotices to induce business away from presently existing taxi-ca bs. 'l' 10 10. he applicant will not be able to give satis- factory service to the public for the reason that he intends to eperate only one taxi-cab, and be the driver himself'. lIe, able to properly serve transportation \, ':....

'J. 12. he ppplicont has in the past made stRtements in the presence of one of oyour petitioners that he did not wish to buy the taxi-cah license of an existinp, taxi-cab buainess, no mntter how reasonabel the price, for the re~son that he could be put in business completely free of chnree by the Vity ~ommission of ~learwater, ~he applicant further indicn~en by his remarks that if he received a taxi-cab It cense, he would have no compunction About selling said license iC he Cound that it was to his advantage to relinquish s~id license. 13. It has been the known practice of the applicant to ChArge fAres less than those prescribed ny the Bustomary and ppproved rate sheets used by the other tax.-cabs operRt~D~. One of your petitioners, a former employer of the applicant, was forced to fire the applic'lnt from his employment for the :reason that the appl'icaItlt continually charged fares below those prescribed. On that occasion, the applicant stated to one of your petitioners that he fully intended to continue to chorge fares lower than those prescribed. ~or these reasons, your petitioners believe that the applicant will enBoge in un- fair competition and will be a detriment rather than as asset to the transportation system of 0lea~vater. l4. ~he operatmrs of the pUblic transportation facilities, both taxi-cabs and bus, hAve a history of OJ: mutual cooperationa and unusual civic service. he local bus company and the local taxi-cab operators cooperate each ~1~h the other in rendering good transportation to the peop1e .

" j . , " or Clearwater, 3ld have always engaged in fair competitive practices with each other. ~he fact that the 100a1 bus company joins the taxi-c~b operntors in this petition, is to your petitioners's belief, indicative of the amicable re- lationship thAt exists. It is the heartfelt belief of your petitioners that the licensing of applicants such as the present one will precipitqte a situntion wthat wi~l render further cooperation difficult. for the r~son thnt it will nllow a marginal taxi-cab operAtor to enter a field thAt is 8lready crowded, and will, therefore, encourage such a mArginal operator to engage in unfnir trade practices. 15. The pass8ge of City Ordinance No. 500, ehich 'v i is the present vity of learwatcr tax -cab ordinance, was occasioned largely by the insistence od the presant operators of existing transportation facilities. ~his ordinsnce was an emergency measure designated to stop a taxi war then in progress, which taxi war was occasioned by the licensing of such a number of taxi-cab operA tors, that the .Uloome of each taxi-csb operp.tor was reduced to such an extent that undesirable drivers had to be hired. It is the belief of your petitioners that the licensie of additional taxi-cab operators at this time will lower the income or other taxi drivers, whi~h, will, in turn, make the taxi-cab operators unable to ~ttract desirable personall to Cheir employment. In that event, the situation corrected by Ordinance No. 500 willegein have been created by the body that enacted Ordinance No. 500, the Vity ~ommission of the Vity ot Cleatwa ter. 16--.

It is in this same spirit that your petitioners here appear before the Gommission. your petitioners believe that the licensing of this applicant will, in the future, cause public resentment toward the taxi- cab operators or Clearwater as a whole, and wi~l, therefore, be against the public interest, -nd will tend to mitigate the well-earned reputation of the present operators.

Mr. Bie1 has now sold his interest in this business to Miss Fronoena Tyner. The business ~il1 now operate by Miss Tyner and Mrs. Botsford. It is necessary and appropriate that the lease which was originally in the name,pf Biel and Brady be transfered to Mrs. Botsford and Miss lyner. A request was made a short time ago for an endorsement to be made on the lease showing Mrs. Botsford!s interest in this 1.ease. As of this date, I have had no confirmation from the City or Oity Manager that this endorsement has been made although I understand that such is customary where there is not a complete change in ownership. Mr Bie~ has been in this business since the inception of same and has just no~ sold his interest to Miss Tyner. In view of the foregoing facts, I would like to fonmally request the transfer of the above mentioned lease to Miss Francena Tyner and Ida M. ~otsford operating and doing business as Golf Inn located at #50 Causeway Boulevard, Clearwater Beach, Clearwater, Florida., I request this to be put in the agenda of the earliest meeting possible, i~ that is necessary.

Sargeant - Mayor-Commissioner Herbert M, Brown - Commiss3oner E, B, C�sler Jr. - Commi9aioner Leland F. Drew - Commissioner Absent: Guy I,. Kennedy - Commissioner Others present: Boyd A. Bennett - City Manager Ben Krentzman - City Attorn�y George McClamma - Chief of Police The meeting having been ^,alled to order,, the minutes of the meeting of September 19 were approved subject to the following corrections: The name in paragraph $ changed to Harry Hurwood; Commissioner Brownts motion (item 21) to read as follows, Co.mmissioner Brown moved that the Chief of the Fire Department be authorized to ax�swer calls to house fires outside the Citv I,imits and render a bill o£ �50.00 minimum for each call; on item 23, the estima�ed cost of 31�0� feet of 12 inch watpr main on South Greenwood Avenue to be shown as �20,000 instead of �2000,00. The minutes of the Special meeting of Septe�nber 26 were approved as reacL. Henry KPlly appeared before the commission in support of his request for permission to operate a taxi cab. Attorney Charles L, Phillips presented a petition by Ware Taxi Company, the City Taxi Comgany and J. H. Blackburn, requesting that the permit be denied. On being questioned by the Mayor, Commissioner Brew voted to grant Mr. Kellyts request, Commissioner Brown and Casler voted 'fno'�. Having been instructed by the Corruniss�on to check into the partial closing �f streets in front o£ buildings under construction, the City Manager reported that a City Ordinance permitted the cichsing of not more than one third of the streeb wrile bui2.dings wer� un.3er construction. The Pinellas County Grand Jury in its�recent presentment recc'omendeci that investigation Ue made to determine whether or not it would b e fe�sable to limit partially closed streets to one way traffic as a safet� measure, Cpmrr,issioner Brown moved that the Qity Attorney be instructed to draw up a new ordinance in conjuncti�n with the City Manager. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Casler and carri.ed unanimously. A petition signed by nineteen persons residing in the area adj«cent� to I,ot 39a Bluff View �ubdivision, requested that the Commission reconsider its action granting L. H. Reid permission to erect buildings with a ten foot set-back on Je�'fords Street. Mr. Thomas Swan, Miss Helen Batche�.er, and Mrs. Mildred S, Hamrick exprassed their �bjections.

Phillips,J'r., and netition t?-is Honorab$e Coimnission to deny the application of Henry Ke11y for a taxi license, said application havin� been filed with the �ity o� �learwater on Septemt�er 7, 1949. And for reasons in support of this petition, your petitioners cite the i'ollowing: 1. �'he applicant has failed to comply with Sec�ion l, Artie].e 3 of �ity Ordinance n. 500, in tYint said application fails to set forth the proposed place of business the make and _ model oP vehicle to be used in the business, and the trade mame, iP any, under which the ap-�licant does or proposes to do business. 2. The a�plicant has Pailed to show compliance with SPction 2 of Articlea 3 of cit:v Ordinance No, 500, �vhich r.e- quires, among othar thinga, that an investigation be conduc�ed aa to ihe Pitness of the equipment to be u3ed, and the demands of publia convenience, necessi�y and sefety. 3. The applicant has feiled to show compliance with Sectzon 1 oP �rticle 4 of City Ordinance Pdo. 500, which re- quires thnt a liability insurance policy or a surety bond be posted with the city before the applicant is allowed to operate a taxi-cab on the streets oP the �ity �f Clearwater,^nd tYiat said insurance or bond be approved by the �ity Comm:ission.. 4. �l�he applicant has failed to shoU� compliance with Jection 7 of "rticle 5 0� �ity Ordinance No. 500, which r�- quires that th2 holder of a chauffe�tr's lice_nse file w� th the Chief of Police a physician's report �f physical esamination at least once a year. 5. ���he applicant has Pailed to show compliance ��1ith Section 1 of ��rticle 8 of �ity �rdinance No. 500, which re- quires that every person operation or controlling a taYi-cab within the limits of �learrvater shall iile with the �ity P�Ianager a schedule of t�e rabes or fares ch�rges f or trans- portation of passengers in such cab. 6. This is the third time tvith�n one calendar year last passed that the applicant has applizd to the �it� �ommission for a taxi -cab license. �'he applicant first apnlied on september 14, 19a8, and that application v�as deferred at the meeting of the City �or�mission held on �eptember 20, 1948, and was later denied Uy the "ity �ommission at it:s meetin� on �ctober 4, 1948. The applica�.t a�ain applied on Januar;* 17, 19a9 and the City �ommission at its meeting of January 1'l, 1949, denied the said application zor the reason that the applicant failed ta show the public necessity for the additional sergice. �� Section 3 of nrticle 3 of uity �rdinance No. 500 requires, as a necess�try pre-requisite to the issuance of a taxi-cab liaense, that the �o�nmission find and the applicant shoxv that the public convenience, necessity, and safety justifies the issuance of such license. It was on the basis that '��e public convenience, necessity, and safety did not justify the issuzng of an additional taxi-c�b l.icense that the apglication of the present applicant was refused on _ J'anu.ry l7, 1949, and 3*our petitioners resnectfully show 0 � unto the �ommission that there is less justification notv on the b�s�s of public c�nvenience and necessity �han thexe was at the time of the last refusal of the epplication of this applicant, and in supv�rt of tliis contention, the petitioners attach hereto and by refexence make a part hereof the st��e- ments of Harvey �, V�ard, & J. Blackburn of "ity Taai Company, the Uookkeeper for Vrare's Taxi Service, which statements sho�v that the receipts of Y�are's �l�a.�i .,3ervice & dity Taxi "or�pany steadily declined for the past �our years, and have marlce�ly declined since the d�te th�;t the last aronlication of tne applicant vaas considered by the �ity Commzssion. Ht present' there are seven licensed taxi-cats in the �'ity of �leurw�ter that are idle because of ladk of sufficient business to tiv�rrant their usa, and one taxi-cab bus?ness has been forced t o cease operation wzthin the las year due to lack of business. 1here have been no complaints of poor or insufficient service �nadQ either to the taxi companies o�e,rating in �'.eartivater or to the local bus combany. Even during tne �c �ak of the last v�;i� i;er season, there wes not sufficient business to keep all of the presnetly licensed taxi-cabs in �lear�vater occupied. O�e the contrary, approxim^tely f�ve of the t�resentl� licensed taxi- cabs were constantly unable to �'ind sufficient business to keep them 9p'eration more than part ime. 1he sevsn licensed tax3_-cabs that are nolv idle are consi;antly kept in readiness �o answer ca11s and to serce the public wnenever there is a need ior such ser�ice. It is the belie.i of your petitioners that if the public nectssity req_uired additional taxi-cab service, the public vrould reauest suc� serTrice and the now idle taxi-cabs wnuld be busy. 8. lhe applicant is not a resident of the City of �learwater, and i�, �here�ore, not in a position �o ,�wlc the Cit;� ozi'ic�,als of the city of C1e�rwater for concessions that will allow him to conpote with taA�aying citizEns o�' �learwater� 9. lhe applicant attents, if licensed, to eatablich his pl�tce �f business �v? �hin 1G0 fee� of tv��o presently e�ist- in� tari--cab stands, wh.ich Pact, when coupled with the appli�;ant's past conduct, leads your �etitioners to belieJe that it is the d esign of the apPlicant to enuage in unPair practices t� induce busin.ess away frora presently exi�ting taxi-cabs. 10 10. ��he annlicant w�.11 not be able to �ive sat�s- factory service to the public for the reason tk�at he intend� to e�erate only one tax.i-cab, and ` e ;he driver himself, Eie � theref'ore, v�ill not be able to nro�erly serve transnortation r � 3dl . � ,� � `a°.°' �Germinals onermt?on undex a twenty-four hour � day schedule. In, additqzon, sinoe hi� prnposod tax�-cab is not equiped tivith r•adio eommunication equipmer_t, he will not be able to reciive cmll.s enroute, which situat�,an will necessarily considerably del�y his mnswering calls and servicin� incr�min� calls: therafore, youx� petitionera believe that the applicant cannot, with a lioense for only one tari-c�:b, suffieiently add to the public service notiv Uein�; rendered by the existing traizsnortation facilil;ies to warrant the issuin� of a taxi-cab license to him. 11. mhe ax�plicati�n formerly admitted befare Lhe �ity �ommission tn�t Yle had picked up p�s�,engers from bus stops v✓ithout solicitatian from them. mhis fast, couples vlzth the fact that his limited facilities wi.l1 necessarily xender him s�mewh�ai; inaccessibla to the puUlic by �elEphone, leads your patitioners to believe that the anplicant will continue toentice passen�ers atvay i'rom the facilitizs of the existin� furnishers of transportation. 12. '�he gpplicant has in the past made sta.teruents in the presence of one of oyour �etitioners that he a.ia not wish to buy tha taxi-cab license of an existing taxi-cab business, no matter how reasonabel the price, for the re�son that he could b e put in business completely free of ch:�rge by the "i�y �'ommission o�' "learwater, lhe applicant further . inaica�ed bf his remarks that if i:e received a taxi-cab l�.cense, he v�Quld have na compunetion about selling said license if' he found that it was to his advantage to relinquish said license. 13. It has been the known practice of the anpl?cant to charge fares less than those nrescribed hy the sustomary and approved rate sheets used by 1;he other tasn-cabs operatQms. �ne of your petitioners, a former employE�: of the appl�cant, was forced to fire the appliC�+nt from his employrle�t for tlie reason th�� the appl�ica�tt enntinually charged fares belo�v those prescribed. �n th�t occasion, the applicant stated to one oi your getitioners that he fully intend�d to continue to char�e fares lower than th�se prescxibed. lar tl�ese reasons, your netitioners believe �Ghat the applicant �vill engage in un� fair competition an� ��+ill be a de��iment rether than as asset to the transportation system oi' �lear�vater. i4. `l'�;e operat�rs of the public transporta�i.on facilities, both taxi-cabs ancl bus, have a historv of mutu�il cooperationa an� unusual civic service. lhe l.ocal bus pompany and the local taxi-r.,ab operators cooperate each �roith the other in rendering good trans��ortation to the people ■ � , __ _ � of �learvaater, md have al�xays en���ed in �'air r,ompetitive practices with each otlzer. �l�he faGt that the local bus company joins the taxi-cab o�ermtors in ti�is netition, 3.s �- �o your petitioners's belief, indicative of the amicabls re- l�tionship that e�ists. It is the heartfelt belief of four petitio�ers thet the licensing of a�plicants such as the present one will brecipitate a situation wthat Will render fur�her cooper�tion difficuiL �, �`or the reson tha t �,t �r�ill a1Zo�v a marginal taxi-cab o�erAto;c� to enter a field t�at is already crowded, and wiTl, th�refor�, ancourage such a mar�i:nal operator to engage in unfair trade pra,etices. 15. The passage of City �rdinance No. 500, ehich is the present `%ity of Llear�vater taxi-cab ordinance, tvas occasioned largely by the insistence od the pres�nt operators of existin� transportation facilities. ��his ordinance was an emergency measure designated to stop a taxi war then in progress, which taYi war v,�as oceasioned by the licensing of such a number of taxi-cab operators, that the ihcome of sach ta�;i-cab oper-tor was reduced to such an ex_tent that undesirable drivers nad to be hired. It is the belief of your petitioners that the licensig of additional taxi-cab operators at this time will lov��er the income of other taxi drivers, vahi�h, will, in turn, make the taxi-cab operators unabTe to attract desirable personall to �heir employment. In that event, the situation corrected by Ordinance No. 500 �r�illagain have been created by the body that enacted ' �rdina�ce No. 500, the "�t� �ommission oi' the Uity oP Cleatwater." 16: �lhe present taxi-cab operators have a record of acting in the public interest, inclucing their offering their comPlete faciliti.es to the citizens of �learwater at time of disaster, including hurricanes. It is in this sarne spirit that your petitioners here appear before the �omm�ssion. your netitioners believe that the licensing o� this applicant will, in the future, cause public.resentment toward the taxi- cab operators of Clearwater as a whole, and will, therefore, be against the public interest, md will tend to mitigate the well-earned reputatiun. of the present operators. Your ,_. petitioners believe that the resisting the application they are rendering a public service in attempting ta police their �wn ranks. V�TIi�RERORE, your petitionera pray that the application of �enry �elly for a taxi-cab license to operate a taxi-cab within the limi:ts of'Glearwater, Florida, be denied, 3 �� � Signed; Chas. t+j.
