Connor, J.,
concurring. For the reasons set out in the opinion and upon the authority of the cases cited, I concur in the opinion of the court that the statute confers upon the commission the power to require the construction of sidetracks upon the terms and conditions prescribed. Whether *245the order is a reasonable one, was submitted to the jury, and answered by them as set out in the record. To this there was no exception. In view of the fact that the cause was tried in that way, I do not care to discuss the question — whether what is a reasonable regulation is a question of law for the court or a-fact to be submitted to the jury. The usual rule undoubtedly is that what is a reasonable time, or a reasonable notice, or reasonable regulation upon the facts admitted, or found by the jury, if disputed, is a question of law. The practice in regard to the validity of orders made by the Corporation Commission not being well settled and not having been discussed in this case, I do not wish to be understood as expressing any opinion in regard to it. I do not think the exception to His Honor’s ruling upon the question of evidence is reversible error. There are expressions in the opinion, to which I cannot give my assent, not being, in my opinion, pertinent to the questions presented for our decision. I simply .concur in the disposition made of this case.
Walker, J., concurs in the concurring opinion of CoN-NOB, J.
Brown, J., dissenting.
