*195Burling, J.
(dissenting). As I indicated in my previous dissent, 24 N. J., at page 509 (1957), the Commissioner has no statutory authority to grant Colonial’s application for a branch office at a location completely divorced from the immediate area where the Excelsior office was maintained in Elizabeth.
I do not, therefore, ever reach the problem of what standards must guide the Commissioner in his determination.
On the basis of the views previously expressed, I would reverse the agency determination and direct a dismissal of the application.
For affirmance — -Chief Justice Weintraub, and Justices Jacobs, Proctor, Hall and Schettino — 5.
For reversal — Justice Burling — 1.
