The opinion

On Petition to Rehear.

Questions raised by the petition were carefully considered upon review of the case. It is insisted by the petition that there was! nothing about the statute to construe. It was necessary to determine whether the statute required the slowing down of trains at road crossings to such extent as to impose a burden on interstate commerce. It seems to us that giving the statute a reasonable construction, and in view of the rule that it is not to be supposed that the lawmakers intended to enact an invalid law, no burden was imposed upon interstate commerce.

The petition to rehear is denied.

Affirmed by Supreme Court of United States, Jan. 27, 1930, 74 L. Ed., 239.
