Alcorn, J.
(dissenting).
I disagree. We do not know what the conclusions of the commission were because it did not “state upon its records its finding and reason for the action taken” as § 25-12 of the General Statutes required it to do. Before the action of the water resources commission should be declared to be a legal and reasonable exercise of discretion, its own conclusions, rather than the recommendations made to it by a field examiner and a hearing examiner, should appear to demonstrate the basis for an order which is to prevail over the judgment of the other equally responsible public agencies which opposed the action taken.
