The only drawback TO the establish

existing regulation of the Utilities Com

their meters registering while carrying
passengers. Unless this is changed he
explained, the meters would register
higher for the flat rate" job than the
10-cent fare proposed. To remove this
condition, he said he would suggest
that the commission would amend the
regulation to allow the meter to "cut
off" during the special rush-hour
service.
