difficult to live up to linanclai Liability Alderman Gordon Mchirkelat ed that he found some minor dis crepancies in the draft bylaw he did not see why the Council should concern themselves about whether the driver smoked or not but his major point was that it was not sufficieht to say that the operators would be financially liablctothe extent laid down in the Highway Act in the event of an accident these figures were too low dont see why any taxi com pany should have less than $50000 coverage think Council should serious consider amending this financia rc usibliity It should be ashigb as possible Figures for financial respon sibility required under the High way Act were quoted as $1000 for property damage $5000 for public liability and $10000 for passenger inju Barrie taxis at the
