moned, and two or three weeks devoted
if necessary to a proper hearing of the
case, THAT the question might be for
ever settled. He said he would be glad
to Cooperate with the commission in this
respect. If the rates are unreasonable
they should be reduced, while if they are
just they should be maintained. IN
closing his remarks he suggested that in
a week or ten days the commission pro-
coed to take exhaustive testimony.

ants, said that in his opinion document
ary evidence was of the greatest import
ance, but that he did not have time to

produce some witnesses whom he would
have liked to have had present, and on
these grounds he would be glad to CO.
operate with the attorney general.

statements made by the attorney general.
After some further discussion it was
