To fde Editor of The Tribune:


/ saw in your paper Of Tuesday an article
upon the subject of Cabmen which contains at It's
close plan for the amelioration Of the nuisance TO
which we are all subjected, which would no doubt
accomplish the object provided it could be carried
into effect OF this. however, it seems to nae there
I, 40 much doubt that am induced TO submit anoih
er plan, somewhat less complicated and which would
Justly term thern at the steamboat landings which
after all is the worst part Of the business.


My plan is for the proprietors of the Steamboats,
aud the directors OF The Railroads, which terminate
in or near the City, to take into their employment
certain number Of the most respectable Hackmen in
the City, selected for their reputation; or, il such
cannot be found as one would suppose there could
not from your description of their characters, let a
sufficient number of the right sort OF men be licensed
for the purpose Let these men alone be admitted
into the enclosures provided nj the steamboat land
ings Let them wear q conspicuous badge and all
be provided with good carriages and horses Then
let the Hack fare be settled on board Of the boat
paid at the Captains ofice-according to the rates
established by law aud ticket for the fare furnished
TO the passengers. Let each Hackman have num-
Der and the receipts be divided equally amongst
the whole number. In this way all competition
would be avoided. Upon The arrival OF the boat or
rsilcar the Steward or Conductor might take some
conspicuous station and point out 10 each traveller the
Cabman selected 10 convey him 10 his destination,
and am very sure that in this way this nuisance,
which is disgrace TO our city and is every year be-
coming more and more uncomfortable, would be done
away with Ifyou win be good enough to call the
attention of the Directors of the Steamboats, and
Railroads 10 this plan i feel sure you will much
oblige more thun one TRAVELLER.
