lawyers concentrated almost all their fire the
court review plea
Albert H. Harris. representing the New York
Central. and Walker D. Hines. representing the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Adams Express Com
pany. presented the railroads views. Other
counsel present were George F. Brownell. for the
Erie; William S. Jenny, for the Delaware. Lack
awanna & Western. and Frank Il. Platt, for the
Lehigh Valley.
William Nottingham. of Syracuse, and Wal
ter Herman, of Utica. appeared for companies
which build and operate electric roads IN the
central part of the state. They said that the
section of the utilities bill dealing with the issue
and ownership of securities would certainly re-
tard and perhaps prevent the extension or the
trolley system in that district
II want TO say final word about this ques-
ton of court review" said Mr.. Harris. We VIII
have some sort OF judiciary review, / suppose.
certainly in cases where our constitutional
rights are involved. What sort OF a review II
Will be ] cannot tell. am very sorry that no
specific provision for il has been put into the
bill But If it is to remain without this pro
vision. I urge upon you TO out IN a provision
that somebody. the Appellate Division or some
other tribunal shall have the power to suspend
operation Of the order pending appeal 1t is not
fair TO throw upon officials of the road the
enormous responsibility OF deciding whether
they can afford to go 10 the courts.
Was not the bill changed so that your OBJ
lection does not hold in its present FORM? asked
mo 1t was not" replied Mr. Harris. The
change says that fines imposed can be remitted
but il still leaves officials or employees dlsre-
garding an order liable 10 criminal prosecution
Nov do not believe that this committee wants
10 take the position that bad order must be
obeyed Immediately, without giving the right
of appeal
Mr. Hines called attention 70 a clause of the
bin which he said. made possible great de lay
IN holding and rehearins in case a rehearlns
was ordered.
'If We do have an opportunity for court re-
view" Mr.. Hines said. and we have been told
that we have such a right then let the pro
cedure be defined so that there Will be no doubt
about It. no ambiguity about it"
Some optimistic legislators were saying to-day
that adjournment might come by May "a. Others
who have looked deeper into the subject think
IL will not come until the first week In June
It seems certain that the recount bill will he
sent to Mayor Mcclellan q city BILL and the
people here regard his veto OF the measure as
equally certain. Then, too, the utilities bill
can be passed in the early part of next week
AS that will have TO go to Mayor Mcclellan
and he would have TO hold IL for at least three
days, IL could not well get back TO the Legfs-
lature before the last week in May. Thus, with
reapportionment, ballot reform and the depart
rnent investigation bill and other fruitful
sources OF trouble still TO he taken UP. con-
servative Legislators cannot figure how the date
OF adjournment be set earlier than June 4.
while II IS quite possible that II might be later
