taxicabs in Edina) Nr. LE. Dodge, President of the Red Bird Cab Company, presented
a list of those calls received by the Company.from Edina residents, asking for
service within the Village limits.
Hyde expressed disappointment at the list, stating he had expected it to be more
detailed; and Nr. Dodge explained this represented only the calls at "not busy"
times-that during busy hours the Company could not spend the time to explainc
Council's request to callers. Asked about the age of his cabs, BIr. Dodge told
Council that none of his cabs have been replaced since January; that normally three
or four cabs are replaced each year. At inquiries from the Council, llr. Dodge
