Mr. Scoggins. Right near. They had a stop sign there and someone had had a wreck previously, I don't know, the sign was down. It was laying there, it had been bent over.
Representative Ford. Was this a normal stop for you, or how did you happen to be stopped there?
Mr. Scoggins. Well, I just went around just like I say. We can take our lunch hour anytime, you know; we can call in and say we are going to be out of service for lunch or for anything we might want to be out for, and that is what I had done.
Representative Ford. This was not a regular place where you waited for calls?
Mr. Scoggins. No. You see the way we operate there, just where we discharge a passenger, then we call in and tell them where we are at on our radio, and if they have anybody in that vicinity who needs a cab, they give us their address, you see. Of course, now in the downtown area we do have stands to operate from, at the hotels, and then we have some stands at the medical buildings and the depot and the bus stations; and if we want to pick up there, we can pick up and we don't need to call in. But if we want to sit there we can call in that we are in this neighborhood. If they have got someone who has requested a cab, they give us the address, you see.
Mr. Belin. Mr. Scoggins, showing you Commission Exhibit 528, I would like to ask you to state, if you know, what this is.
Mr. Scoggins. Yes, sir; that is the corner where I was sitting right here, you see, on 10th.
Mr. Belin. You are pointing to something in the front-center part of the picture. What is that?
Mr. Scoggins. That is the stop sign that had been knocked over.
Mr. Belin. That is the knocked-over stop sign?
