STATE HOUSE
Governor and Council viii A. NJ. Thursday June Is

commission adequately at Washing
ton and for that reason / take the
liberty Of urging you again to give
serious consideration to the request
of the state that a hearing be held
in our vicinity where such evidence
may be properly adduced."
Commissioner Eastman's Reply
Chairman Gurney received the fol-
lowing letter in reply from Com
missioner Eastman:
II have received your letter in the
matter of the Eastern Class Rate in
vestigation. in which you request a
hearing in your vicinity for the
benefit of the shippers of your state.
Because Of the press Of other
matters and also the delay on the
part of many representatives Of
shippers in informing the commits
sion as to the amount of time they
desire, 1t has been impossible for me
to decide definitely upon the pro-
gram for the next hearings in this
proceeding, but expect to do so
within the next few days.
some time ago, you will recall, a
public announcement was made to
the effect that hearings for the pur-
pose of receiving testimony from
shippers would be held at Wash
ington and Chicago, and possibly al
SO at Boston If considerable num-
Der Of requests therefor were made.
Thus far. comparatively few re-
quests for q hearing at Boston have
been received. Recently several let
ters have been received requesting a
hearing in the State of Maine.
"As you probably know, I have
hitherto expressed reluctance to as
sign q hearing in this proceeding in
Maine, fearing that it would en-
courage similar requests from
numerous other points which could
not be granted If the investigation is
to be conducted with minimum eX-
pense to the commission and counsel.
II have also stated that it Is de-
sired to avoid cumulative testimony
30 far as possible and have indicated
that If counsel state that testimony
Of one witness could be supple
mented by evidence of the same
character from any given number of
additional witnesses, such statement
could be noted in the record as a
stipulation.
'T am fully aware Of the interest of
shippers in your state In this pro-
ceeding and of its importance to
them, and of course, have no desire
to prevent adequate presentation of
their case. I am inclined to believe
that II hearings are held in Boston
the interests of Maine shippers
would be served satisfactorily, and
would be glad to hear from you as
to this before the future program is
definitely determined"
