Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Upon leave granted, this appeal was taken from a circuit court order denying motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the Michigan public service commission's order requiring flashing light signals at a railway crossing of the New York Central with White street in Howard township, Cass county, Michigan, it being alleged that the circuit court abused its discretion by such denial.
Upon review, we find no abuse of discretion by the circuit court.. The order denying a preliminary restraining order is affirmed. The circuit court is hereby instructed to proceed forthwith to trial on the merits in the above cause. Costs of this appeal to appellee.
