The Circuit Court last week sustain
ed these rates and ordered that they
90 into effect Tuesday. It is presum-
ed that a stay will be granted, pend
ing hearing by the Supreme Court,
but it is probable that the rates win
60 into effect in the near future.
When they do go into effect, if the
lower rate is not set by the Hemp
stead County Court, people going
from the Hampstead County side Of
the river across will have TO pay q
rate Of 75c per car, day rates, as
against Soc per car for cars coming
from the other side.
County Judge John L. Wilson will
possibly render a decision in the case
during this week. In view of the
testimony and exhibits introduced at
the Texarkana hearings and in view
of the verdict, both Of the Miller
County Court and the Circuit Court,
it is hardly probable that this deci-
sion will be in favor of the high rates.
We give below a summary of the
testimony in the case as presented to
the Circuit Court and some excerpts
from the exhibits in tho trial, II
