The Office of Defense Transportation has Cut the Sup
ly of Gasoline for Taxis THIRTY PER CENT in Roanoke1
Rapids, as of January 1,1944.
This means that all taxicabs in Roanoke Rapids which use legal gasoline are
cut THIRTY PER CENT in the number of trips or the distance they can make;
it also means that taxi drivers will have their income cut THIRTY PER CENT.
Because we did not have enough gasoline on last Saturday night, we had to
stop our taxis, which we did not want to do . . . but we had no gas left.
In order to keep furnishing taxicab service to our customers and for those
emergency calls when you need us, it will be necessary to raise our prices. Some
of the prices have been raised from 8 to 10 per cent ; others have been raised
from 20 to 25 per cent. NONE HAYE BEEN RAISED1 30 PER CENT.
—<
We will try this new price list and hope we can keep giving you service. We
do ask you to help us by saving precious gasoline when you call for a Johnson
Taxi «to tell us (1) how many in the party; (2) where each one is going; and
(3) if we do not answer the call as quickly as we once did, please call and can
cel your order.
