Mr.. Bayard objected 10 the manner Of

n. but 10 was held by the court that
the appeal was substantially in com
pliance with the statute creating the
Utilities Board.
The appeal was from the order OF the
Utilities Commission. Mr.. Bayard's OBJ
lection was that the appeal was signed
by others (the members Of COuncip
than the three actual appellants. James
w. Robertson. f. VI. Davis and William
r.. Seward
Mr.. Bayard argued that no stay should
be granted only upon examination OF
the records Of the Utilities Commission.
The commissioners had no chance at
the hearing, he said, TO refute or reply
TO the petition OF Mr.. Harman, nor
could they present facts TO the court.
A comparison Of the records OF the
board with the charges OF the petition
would show great discrepancy, Mr.. Bay
ard said Urging the court that a stay
should be granted only on the records
OF the board. Mr. Bayard said that the
basis OF Mr.. Harm0n's petition should be
a transcript OF the facts as shown b
the records.
Another point made by Mr.. BayarC
was that only a few extra cents in car
fares will pass out OF the pockets o
| the complainants between this tim
and June 2i, when the case will b
heard on its merits, and he felt tha
no action should be taEen by the cour
until then.
Mr.. Ward told the court that no ci
