522 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 282
tion 357, Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland, 1924
Edition. In the event the Commission shall find the alle-
gations set forth by the complaining carrier are true, then
the Commission shall notify the offending carrier to cease
such operations within such time as the Commission may
direct. In the event the offending carrier shall neglect or
refuse to obey or observe such order of the Commission, the
Commission shall notify the carrier to show cause within
ten days from the date such notice is served or mailed as
hereinbefore set forth why the registration certificate for
such truck or trucks involved in such operation should not
be revoked. If no cause is shown, or if after a hearing,
following such order, the Commission shall find that no
causa is shown, then the Commission shall certify to the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles that the registration cer-
tificate of all truck or trucks involved in the operation com-
plained of shall be suspended or revoked, and the condition
of such revocation or suspension, and the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles shall automatically suspend or revoke the
same subject to the further order of the Public Service
Commission. The Public Service Commission shall, if
possible, notify the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles the
license number or numbers of trucks, the certificates of
registration for which are to be suspended or revoked.
There shall be no appeal from the action of the Commis-
sioner of Motor Vehicles, but an action may be commenced
to vacate and set aside any order of the Public Service
Commission in the manner prescribed for the setting aside
of other orders of such Commission. Nothing in this Sec-
tion shall be construed to extend the control or jurisdic-
tion of the Public Service Commission to vehicles not oper-
ating as public carriers or not operating for hire on regu-
lar schedules or between fixed termini.
The rules, practice and proceedings in all hearings as
hereinbefore set forth shall be governed by the rules, prac-
tices and proceedings before the Commission as in all other
hearings conducted by the Commission. The Commission
shall have full power to make rules and regulations neces-
sary and incidental for the holding of hearings and the
enforcement of the orders of the Commission.
In the event an offending carrier shall neglect to file an
answer within the time set forth in the notice, or without
obtaining an extension thereof, then the Public Service
Commission may, in its sole discretion, direct the Commis-
sioner of Motor Vehicles to revoke or suspend the regis-
tration certificate of all trucks involved in the operation
complained of as hereinbefore set forth.
