Mr. Chief Justice Stone,
concurring.
Mr. Justice Roberts, Mr. Justice Reed, Mr. Justice Frankfurter and I concur for the following reasons only.
Petitioners did not raise objections in their application for rehearing to the Commission to the inclusion of their *651producing and gathering facilities in the rate base. By § 19 (b) of the Natural Gas Act “No objection to the order of the Commission shall be considered by the court unless such objection shall have been urged before the Commission in the application for rehearing unless there is reasonable ground for failure so to do.” No reason appears for the failure of petitioners here to make objection on rehearing to the inclusion of the production and gathering facilities in the rate base.
