March 15, 1954
Mr. George T. Henderson
City Clerk
Memorial Auditorium
Wichita Falls, Texas
Dear Mr. Henderson:
With further reference to the transfer of Taxi Cab Permits
from the present holders to the Wichita Cab Company and
Cowden Cab Company, as referred to in our minutes of March
8, I am pleased to give you the information as developed.
The major claim, that of Jewel Green vs. Yellow Cab Company
occurred December, 1952. At that time, the Cab Company had
on file with you evidence of Public Liability with limits
of $5/10,000, being covered with the Century-Lloyds of
Houston. This company was, at that time, operating and I
was informed by Mr. Saunders Casualty Insurance Commissioner,
that they are still in operation.
In 'view of the City having accepted this insurance, it was
my opinion that the Cab Company had fully complied with
regulations governing their holding this permit; but to be
on the safe side, I secured a letters which now is our
files, dated March 9, 1954 and signed by Mr. J. 0. Sbeton,
which states that he will be personally responsible up to
$4500 on the accident occurring in December, 1952, as well
as another case involving injury to Clifton Drennon in the
amount of $100.
In view of the above information, I recommend a transfer
of these certificates, as far as the items referred to me
for investigation are concerned.
Yor.,rs very truly,
.
Henry D. ason
