A Clinton-area taxi driver who
has been renting out photocopies
of a. taxi license issued by the
village of Brussels will not have
that license renewed, Brussels
council decided Monday•night.
The problem was brought to
the attention of council in a letter
from Transport Canada—Officials
at Toronto International Airport
recently found a photocopy of the
Brussels license, issued at a fee of
$25 to Hank. Schoonbeek of ABC
Intercounty Communications of
Clinton, in the hands of a Toronto.
taxi driver. An investigation
determined that Mr. Schoonbeek
had rented the photocopy of the
Brussels License to* the Toronto .
clriver for-a fee Of $100 per month
. The Transport Canada letter
pointed out that this was an 31175
profit for Mr. Schoonbeek.
Members of council felt Mr
Schoonbeek's. license should
immediately be revoked. Reeve
Cal Kramer indicated that council
could not revoke the license, since
the village .has no standing
by-laws governing the operation
of taxi cabs,
It was felt that the drafting of
such- by-laws would occupy too
much of Council's time. It was
therefore decided, that '. Mr.
Schoonbeek's license, which
expires at the end of this year,
would not be renewed.
