fuse or revoke a permit for a public or private dump, after
notice and hearing, if the Commission shall find that the loca-
tion and use of the proposed dump or the operation of an estab-
lished dump would endanger the health, comfort or public wel-
fare of, persons residing within the vicinity thereof, and may
revoke any permit for the business of collecting garbage, trash,
refuse, rubbish or junk for hire, after notice and hearing, for
the violation of its regulations.
