1Opinion of the Court
PHILLIPS, Chief Justice.
The Texas & Pacific Railway Company obtained an order from the Texas Railroad Commission allowing it to discontinue its agency in Jefferson. The agency handles only rail carload shipments. The less than carload shipments are handled by a contract truck operator located in Jefferson. Less than carload shipments never travel by rail and the Commission’s order has no effect on existing less than carload lot traffic.
Suit was filed by the City of Jefferson to set aside the order and the Texas and Pacific Railway Company intervened on the side of the Railroad Commission.
