last 21 Purposes of Act Misconstrued Paragraph of Judge Hudson's eight page written opinion The court's conclusion Is that the commission misconstrued the purposes of the act that the evidence does not disclose that sub- stantial advantages will result to the People of the state as a whole from the development of the posed projects involved in the cense authorized by tho commission and that the commission has failed to require from the applicant such reasonable economic advantages for the state as a whole and the peop thereof as tho act contemplate Therefore an order may be remanding the
