been denied or limited, the Public Service Commission may,
after due hearing, upon not less than three days' notice in
writing, to be sent by registered letter to the address given
by the motor vehicle owner when applying for his permit*
revoke or suspend all permits issued to such motor vehicle
owner under the provisions of this sub-title, and refuse
thereafter to issue such permits to said motor vehicle
owner.

Public Service Commission, all certificates of registration
issued to such motor vehicle owner by the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles shall thereupon be likewise suspended or
revoked.

The license, or registration fees, charged under this sub--
title, as above provided, shall be on the basis of the entire
year, but may be issued on or after the first day of July*

year expiring on the 31st day of March, in which event,
three-quarters of the yearly fee, or one-half of the yearly
fee, or one-quarter of the yearly fee, shall be paid.

aforesaid will be refunded for any part of the year during
which said license is not used except that in the case of
seasonal permits, or in the case of abandoned routes, a re-
fund shall be allowed for any quarter, but no part of any
quarter, for which a seasonal permit has not been used,
