One of the major points in the brief is the legal obliga tion of the company to provide adequate rail passenger serv ice under terms of the origi nal act of congress in which its predecessor was granted aid in building the railroad. Lowry also brought out the obligation of the railroad, as a public utility to submit to regulation of the public util ities commissioner. In arguing about the ade-f quacy of service provided be fore the passenger trains were abandoned, Lowry said: Service Unreliable "Even a casual reading of the transcript shows that the service provided was dirty, uncomfortable and unreliable.

The complainants do not wish such service to be re stored, Lowry said, but they do demand clean, comfortable, efficient and reliable passen ger service. In conclusion, the brief said: "The complainants will freely admit that the de fendant has on its side vast power and unlimited financial resources to stultify the ef forts of the jcomplainants. No issue has ever been more squarely presented as . to whether the rights of a sov erign state shall prevail over those of a selfish and power ful public monopoly. "The complainants, as rep resentatives of the people, earnestly - urge that an order be entered forthwith directing the defendant to restore ade quate rail passenger service to the affected area and if neces sary to enforce that order by mandamus proceedings. We believe. . .that the statutory penalty of $1,000 per day for failure to comply should be invoked." 1 When Commissioner Mor gan will announce his find ings in the case was uncertain today.
