Notes of Decisions Restrictive Amendment
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission properly ordered all operating rights of a carrier transferred and rejected a proposed stipulation. The proposed stipulation, in which a carrier agreed to transfer only a portion of its operating rights and to abandon the remainder in exchange for protesters withdrawing their protests to the carriers transfer application; was a restrictive amendment contrary to public interest.
