FISHING CREEK CASE ISJVOTABLE Briefs Will Be Filed by Both Sides and Argument Heard Some Time Later in Year bids t'.ilr to occupy considerable tention of the Commission. At the conclusion of the hearing yesterday afternoon Commissioner Alcorn di rected that briefs be filed and stated that the whole Commission would sit j later on to hear argument.

Bergner, counsel for the Penn sylvania railroad, said that the cross ing matter had never been heard of until the new Country Club was lo cated where it is, but John W.
