Before ssing on the petition OF

Commission will take into consider
alton the service rendered, the cost of

tions having to do with transporta-

engineer of the commission testified
that the road bed was not in good
shape, the ties in some places being
so worn that he could have pulled out
the spikes.
His statement was in very cor
roborative of the evidence of several
of the protestants that travel over the
ro d. In the arguments that follow
ed the taking of the testimony, Peo-
pies Counsel Joseph Goldsmith made
the point that the commission should
ascertain before reaching decision
why it was that nothwithst nding an
increased maintenance cost IS was set
forth in the company's exhibit and an
increased business. the road was not
in proper condition. If the aft irs
were not economically and judiciously
administered end the business not
properly conducted thereby causing a
waste of money. he did not think the
patrons should be obliged to make up
the deficiency.
