A petition to the District Supreme Court by the Maine Potato Growers and Shipping Association for an or- der directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to reconsider its refusal to grant lower freight rates was de- nied yesterday by Justice James M. Proctor. Stating a fifth of the country’s po- tatoes are produced in this territory, the association contended that rates charged by the Bangor and Aroostock’ Railroad Co. for transportation of po- tatoes from the northern section of the State to Searsport are unreason- able and unjust. At Searsport the potatoes are loaded aboard ships for distribution along the Atlantic Coast. The potato growers appealed to the I C. C. in 1932, but their request for lower rates was denied. In refusing to issue a writ of man- damus, Justice Proctor stated that the commission had acted regularly and in a proper exercise of its dis- cretion. g Cosmos Club to Hear Stewart. L. C.
