Hearing on HalloweAs Accident
Postponed Until After Civil
Suits Which Grew Out of Ac-
cident Are Heard-Reports Of
Other Accidents.
NEXT COUNCIL .a
MEETING Oct. q

The hearing on the Braley accident
which occurred a short time ago in
Hallowelf was continued when called
up by the Public Utilities Commission
ip the Commissions offices at the Cap
the Lewiston, Augusta & .Waterville
Street Railway Company appeared in
the person Of Attorney John Nelson
and Attorney Benedict Maher appeared
for the other parties. Maher set forth
to the Commission the argument that
he did4not wish to reveal the cases OF
his clients before the civil suits pend
ing had been tried and in view of the
circumstances the Commission contin-
ued the. case. f {5
Judge Cleayes, chairman of the Com
mission. says that in continuing the
case he did not intend to establish a
precedent as the conditions existing in
this case and in others might be very
different. 1t happens that the Conn
mission were on the ground very soon
after the accident occurred. The Pub
lie Utilities Law does not require that,
even in the case Of fatal accident, the
hearing on the case shall be held at
any given time or within a stated Pc
ried. 15l~~.7h:.' "sft,"'-
In this case, then, the Commission
can continue the case without in any
way interfering with the business of
the Commission and in so doing re-
lieves the parties to the civil suit pend
ing Of considerable embarrassment.
Both parties to the suit will now be
able to take their cases into court
without having first presented them to
the examination Of opposing counsel
at the Commission hearing. The case
must be entered for trial 1T the next
term. however. and as soon as the ev-
idence is taken out in the case. the
Commission win then give public
hearing on its own account.
Judge Cleaves told, a Journal re-
porter Wednesday morning that it is
probably true that the action In this
case will influence the moves Of inter-

CHAIRMAN cLEAvEs: In response
70 notice that was given for public
Investigation Of the accident that Oc-
currred on Sept. 80. this year. in con-
nection with ths operation Of car
upon the Lewiston. Augusta & Water
Yille Street Railway, In Ha1lowell. the
Public; Utility Act does not require a
public. hearing in cases where Injury
to q person or damage to property re-
suits from an accident upon the prem
ises Of or in connection with the OPP
GRAFTON Of any public utility. The act
does say that if the interest of the
public is such as in the judgment OF
the commission 1t requires public in
vestigation. we can hold such investi-
cation.
Our employees made an immediate
Investigation of this accident within
half an hour of the time of the acct
dent. Two Of our employees were upon
the scene and made somewhat flil
and careful Investigation, which per-
haps would be. sufficient for the pur-
poses OF the commission: Because,
while perhaps not generally understood.
it is fact that the Public Utilities
Commission does not primarily care
anything about the civil liability of
any public utility to an individual who
would personally be injured or his
property damaged. That liability, of
course. en-times, is Intimately in
volved and interviewer with an inves-
tigation and a conclusion upon our
part. ana a experimentation, il any
such is necessary, in order that we
may reach the one thing which the
Legislature, in our Judgment. intended
we should accomplish, and that is to
determine as near as may be the
causes Of an accident resulting either
in death, or serious injury to person or
property, in order. that we may ,con-
clude whether the causes leading UP
to that accident were such as ought
to have been prevented upon~that oc-
casion, and which could be. prevented
upon any. other occasion. In
other words, if the accident Ee-
suited from something which eth
err the utility causing the : in
jury or the individual, injured could
have prevented by reasonable meth
DDS and means. If so, then 1t is our
function and duty to point out public
" to the travelling public, and to the
managers of the utility, the things
which could and ought to have been
done in that case to prevent the acct
dent. and which can and should be
done in the future to prevent recur-
rences of that accident. That we con-
ceive to be our only duty, and as I
said In the beginning, we do not pri-
marily cure anything about the civil
liability of that utility.
In this particular INSTANCE. Bro
Benedict F. Maher states. that five Of
the witnesses whom we have called
here this morning will be plaintiffs in
separate suits against the L., A. & w.
st. Ry. And he states that if these wit
nesses are examined, and if opportu-
nifty for cross-examination be given,
two improper results in his judgment.
will follow. One. that the railroad Of
ficials will be in possession Of their
full statements under oath. (which they
would not be entitled to, or which the
railroad company would not be enti-
