Becker, Receiver, v. Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
    
      Public Utilities Commission — Motor transportation companies— Certificate of convenience and necessity — Section HUi-87, General Code — Statements in affidavit supported by facts.
    
    (No. 18820
    Decided April 21, 1925.)
    Error to the Public Utilities Commission.
    
      Mr. Samuel I. Lipp and Mr. John, A. Scanlon, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Mr. C. C. Crabbe, attorney general, and Mr. John. W. Bricker, for defendant in error.
   By the Court.

The question involved in this case is one of fact. One Edward A. Carley filed his affidavit with the Public Utilities Commission, in accordance with Section 614-87, General Code (110 O. L., 215), in which he stated that on April 28, 1923, he was operating in good faith a bus line over the route set forth in the affidavit. A protest was filed by the plaintiff in error. Upon hearing, the Public Utilities Commission found that the statements in the affidavit of Carley were true, and awarded him a certificate of public convenience and necessity.

We have examined the record and find nothing therein which, taken in connection with the explanation of Carley, is inconsistent with the truth of the facts alleged in his affidavit.

The order of the commission is affirmed.

Order affirmed.
