Yesterday when the commission asked

the commission did have jurisdiction.

The recent action of the Red Top Cso
Co in increasing its initial charge from

ton.
The Red Top Co notified the
commission that the reason it failed TO
ask for authority to raise its rates was
due to an understanding that the COM
mission lacked jurisdiction over taxi
cabs.
