Counsel Dropped In Fare Case Before Public Service Commission
The adjourned hearing on the 10 cent fare to Coney Island by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company opened with complainant Scott MacReynolds appearing without counsel. He said he would conduct the case himself, claiming prior hints suggested the commission would act only as judge if counsel presented all evidence. Company counsel protested the change. MacReynolds agreed to discuss a proposed agreed statement of facts with opposing counsel. He sought to introduce yearly reports from constituent companies to show their answers were wrong and planned to subpoena officials to verify the reports. An adjournment to Friday afternoon was granted to enable service of subpoenas.
