In closing statements City Attorney Frank Mattoon argued Continental failed to prove public convenience would be served by abandoning the Sidney Sterling bus route. He urged alternatives like extending seven miles to Julesburg and pressed that the ICC exists to protect the public, not carriers. Continental attorney C Zimmerman countered that traffic is insufficient to justify service with high per mile costs, noting Julesburg would lose service if Sidney is kept but Julesburg has none.
