C. chairman, said following yesterday's highly technical oral arguments before the commission. Commission officials sald that their investigation - of the utility would be completed within a month. Will Give 10 Days Notice After the investigation is completed, the commission can then set a date for a formal hearing, giving the utility 10 days’ notice. If the commission follows the procedure indicated, it will make superfluous the arguments by attorneys before the commission yesterday. Arthur L. Gilliom and will H. Thompson, attorneys for the utility, contended that the commission's show cause order of last summer was illegal if it meant, as they interpreted it, that the burden of proof rested onthe utility to show cause why their fares should not be reduced.

Interpretation Asked The utility’s attorneys asked the commission for an interpretation, but if the commission wafts until its own investigation is completed before taking further action, none will be needed.

He said that according to his | figures the utility made approxi{mately 9 per cent on its investment last year. He estimates that the company will have 120,000,000 riders this year, increasing the profits over last year’s. The rate case offers some interesting personality angles. Sitting as chairman of the commission is Mr. Beamer and head attorney for the utility is Mr, Gilliom, In 1941, Mr. Beamer, as attorney general, represented the governor in his successful legal fight against the G. O. P. “ripper” legislation, much of which was written by Mr. Gilliom. Mr. Gilliom also served as one of the G. O. P. attorneys in the case. George Barnard, Republican member of the P. 8.
