It may be handed down within a | month. Recent developments have im- pelled the commission to put aside collateral issues and extraneous ques- tions and devote practically its entire time to the rate question. Such questions as spotting car charges, free services of various kinds, and similar propositions that have been considered with the appli- cation of the roads, it was understood today, will not be permitted to inter- fere further with the fundamental proposition of a rate increase. ‘Will Hurry Case. It is the purpose of the commis- sion to expedité in every possible way final disposition of the case, and to that end continuous hearings will be held until the testimony shall have been concluded. That may ’occupy several days. It is expected that the case then may be submitted, éither on. briefs, which now are pracucully‘prenue@, and without oral argument, or: on briefs with ohly, short arguments. Counsel for the railroads already have indicated that they may waive right to argue the case or ally and submit it on briefs. They have in some instances expressed their willing- ness to startd on the evidence ad- duced. 1t is believed to be not unlikely that. the commission itself may make #n- nouncement of its purpose to facilitate | the disposition of the | case.
