CITY COM~ISSION MEETING August Ie, 1952 TO: FROM: REF: Honorable City Commission, City of Clearwater F. C. Middleton, City Manager Application of Mr. J. H. Blackburn and Mr. William L. Ward to Operate Taxicabs in the City of Clearwater. ;) ~ :~; ""'.''.'''' ' , 'tot#L";',:;~" First let me give you fi~ures from near by Cities. City Population Owners Cabs 'fampa 125,000 2 136 St. Petersburg 100,000 4 110 Sarasota 20,000 3 21 Lakoland 35,000 1 20 Palm ljeach 40,000 ~ -91. Total 320,000 35 34e or an avera~e of one ( 1) cab for each nine hundred (900) population Clearwater 25,000 1 14 or an average of one ( 1) cab for each seventeen hundred (1700) population. i, i, ".1" 1 .'" j', ,', , '- I ~ ~ I 1 .1 If' the two applicants request for eleven (11) cabs are granted Clearwater figures would show an average of one (1) cab per one thousand (1000~ population. I have interviewed and had investigated both applicants and find that they have no police record and are familiar with Chapter 29, namely Taxicab Ordinance of the City of Clearwater and promise to operate in accordance with conditions, re~ulations and restrictions set forth in said Vhapter, as well as the Florida State Law regulatine transportation companies. In addition to the above, both companies have pledged their support to the Police Department in lurnishing any number of cabs up to the entire f'leet in case of emer~encies and to meet any and all other reasonable demands made by the City Officials. They agree to use local drivers as far as -possible in order for them to be acquainted with our City so that questions asked may be answered immedia.tely and accurately. Mr. J. H. Blackburn, 1462 Laura St., Clearwater, Florida, one of' the above mentioned applicants, has submitted to my office, through his Attorney, Mr. Alex Finch, an application to operate a taxicab company in the City of Clearwater. Mr. Blackburn has had fourteen years experience in taxicab operation, the last six years as company owner. The company will be operated under the name of Black's Cab and he will be the sole owner. He plans to operate six (6) new 1952 Plymouths or Fords painted uniform in color with marked insignia. Headquarters will be at 21 North Garden Avenue on lot off the street. (This is just north of the new Sears Order Office.) Mr. Blackburn has re~uested one cab space in front of the new Sears Office on the east side of the street and one cab space just south of the alley between the B & B and the Telephone Company on the west side of Garden Avenue, this space to have a call box. Mr. William L. Ward, 913 Seminole St., Clearwater, Florida, the other above- mentioned applicant has submitted to my office through his Attorneys Allbritton and Akerman, an application to operate a taxicab company in the City of Clearwater under the name of Ward's Taxi. He states that he will be sole owner of this company and will operate five (5) new 1952 Fords with headquarters at 201 S. Garden Avenue where he now operates a parkin~ lot. Mr. Ward also operates a nightwatchman's service, which he plans to sell to his brother if he is granted a permit to operate a taxi business. MakinF this report in accordance with your instructions and Section 6 of Ordinance #29, Clearwater City Code on taxicabs, it is my recommendation that Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Ward each be ~iven a permit to operate a taxi business in the City of Clearwater. I do not feel that this report would be complete without saying a good work for Mr. Ware who now operates the only radio'equipped taxi business in Clearwater known as "Ware' 5 Taxi". I,ly recommending the issuing of additional taxi permits to operate in Clearwater is in no way a discredit to Mr. Ware and his efficient taxi business, for he has cooperated with this office on all occasions and many times has assisted the police department with his radio equipped taxies, reporting accidents, road blocks, transportation etc. Respectfully submitted, F.

Tf the two applicants request ."or eleven (11) cabs are grantedt Clearwater figures would show an average of one (1) cab per one thousand (1.000J population. I have interviewed and had investigated both applicants and find that they have no police record and are familiar with Chapter 29, namely Taxiczb Ordinance of the City of Clearwater and prornise to operate in accordance with conditions, re;ulations and restrictions set forth in said "hapter, as well as the Florida State Law regulating transportation companies. In addition to the above, both companies have pledged their support to trle Police Department in furnishing any number of cabs up to tY!e entire fleet in case of emergencies and to meet any and all other reasonable demancis made by the Citp Officials. They agree to use local drivers as f�r as-possible in order for them �to be acquainted with our City so that questions asked may be answered immediately and accurately. Mr. J. H. Blackbur�, 11�62 Laura St., Clearwater, �'lorida, one of the above mentioned applicants, has submitted to my office, through his Attorney, I�Zr. Alex Finch, an application to opera�e a taxicab company in the Gity of Clearwater. T�Ir. B1.ackburn has had fourteen years experience in Laxicab operation, the last six years as company owner. The company will be operated under the name of Black's Cab and he will be the sole owner. He plans to operate six (6) new 1952 Plymouths or Fords painted uniform in color with marked insignia. Headquarters will be at 21 North Garden Avenue on lot off the street. (This is just north of the new Sears Order Office. ) I�Ir. Blackburn has r•equested one cab space in fron-t of the neva Sears Office on the east side of the street Gnd one cab space just south of Che alley betv�een the B& B and the Telephone Company on the west side of Garden Avenue, this space to have a ca�l box. NIr.

He states that he wi11 be sole owner of this company and will operate five (5) new 1952 Fords with headquarters at 201 S. �xarden Avenue where he now operaGes a parkina lot, l�ir. 6�'ard also operates a night�ti*atchman's service, which he plans to sell to his brother if he is granted a permit to operate a taxi bu�iness. Makin this report in accordance with your instructions and Section 6 of Ordinance �29, Clearwater City Code on taxicabs, it is my recommendation that i�'ir. Blackburn and Nir. ti'�ard each be �iven a permit to operate a taxz busir�ess in the City oi Clearwater. I do not feel that �his report would bz complete rvithout saying a good work for Mr. Ware who now operates the only radio equipped taxi business in Clearv�rater known as «Warets Taxi��. i4iy recommendin_g the issuing of additional taxi permitis to operate in Clearwater is in no way a discredit to Nir. t�'are and his efficient taxi business, for he has cooperated wi�h this office on all occasions and many times has assisted the police deFartment with his radio equipped taxies, reporting accidents� road blocks, trans�ortation etc. P�espectfully submitted, I'.
