Town Solicitor Joseph A. Hammill argued in New Haven that the N Y N H H Railroad seeks to disaffirm a 99 year lease for the Providence Bristol line rather than abandon it. He noted a public hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission would be required before any abandonment action, and said Bristol residents have no current stake until then. He added the federal judge postponed the hearing to January 13 and he planned to skip the session.
