## Opinion text

EDMONDS, J.
I concur in the judgment. The amendment to section 50¾ of the Public Utilities Act, added in 1941 (Stats. 1941, p. 2061), in effect, authorizes a carrier, without the approval of the commission, to combine operative rights owned by it. But to serve Fresno via Pacheco Pass, the petitioners would not be making use of the certificate allowing the transportation of freight to that point insofar as the route is concerned.
