On Motion for Rehearing
The Commission makes the following statement in its motion for rehearing:
“Once it has been determined that a permit will be granted for drilling of the well, the Commission would decide on the location to be designated keeping in mind the issue of confiscation as well as consideration of the duty delegated to it to prevent waste and to accomplish proper conservation of the State’s natural resources. Appellant submits that it has not exercised its authority as to the delegated function of determining the proper location for drilling of said well.”
In view of this statement we grant the motion to the extent of modifying the Trial Court’s judgment by deleting therefrom and from the permit ordered issued the specific location for drilling the well authorized therein, the well’s location to be made by the Commission in accordance with its established practice.
In all other respects the motion is overruled.
Granted in part and in part overruled.
