ell filed his statement with the board
nevertheless. He explained that in
view of the boards decision time
would be saved by not reading it

diction over questions involving ex-
pense of operation and suggested that

/ unreasonable. The board is endeavor-
ing to perform its obligation and will
| be better able to succeed in doing so
II it is not further interrupted by the
Introduction or unwarranted demands
