Syllabus

<p>Public Service Commission — Railroads—Cost of installing safety gate — Discretion of commission.</p> <p>An order of the Public Service Commission directing that the costs of installing a safety gate and maintaining a watchman at a crossing of two railroads, be equally divided between the two companies, will be sustained where there is no evidence in the record bearing on the order as to the cost. Any suggestion of the appellate court in such a case as to how the cost of the gates and maintenance should be divided, would be a substitution of, the judgment of the court for that of the commission; and this cannot be done.</p>
