On Motion for Rehearing.
The appellant carriers insist on rehearing that this court erred in holding that the order of the commission refusing to cancel the permit was not attacked upon any ground except that it was unauthorized by the statute; and further insist that the appellants did attack the order upon the ground that it was unreasonable and unjust as to them, because the evidence before the Railroad Commission on the hearing to cancel said permit showed that appellee, Winkle, was operating more schedules on that date than his certificate called for.
We disposed of this contention in our original opinion by holding that subdivision b of section 12 of the Act (Vernon’s Ann. Civ. St. art. 811b, § 12(b) authorized the commission in its discretion to revoke, modify, or suspend a certificate upon a hearing and proof that the holder had violated some of its terms. The record discloses that the commission held a hearing upon the application to cancel appellee’s (Winkle’s) permit, because he had or was operating more schedules than his certificate called for, but refused to do so, and merely suspended all operations for ninety days as punishment for the violation. The section of the act referred to authorized the commission to so dispose of such matters, and we find no fact or facts alleged or proved in this case which would show that the commission had abused its discretionary power in this regard.
We overrule the motion for rehearing.
Overruled.
