Per Curiam.

The appellants propound a total of twenty propositions of law. The majority of these propositions of law focus upon a single issue, whether the commission abused its discretion when it issued the certificates of public convenience and necessity. For the reasons that follow, we hold that it was an abuse of discretion to grant the twenty-two applications for statewide authority to carry household goods and reverse the order of the commission.
