4 later decisions quote this exact passage“`make and state concisely and explicitly its findings of fact * * *.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““4. Where the statute requires ‘explicit’ findings of fact, the granting of an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity by the Public Service Commission does not give rise to an inference or a presumption that the Commission considered and made favorable findings upon matters, essential to the granting of the application but which are not mentioned in the Commission’s findings of fact. “5. Where the findings of fact of the Public Service Commission omit findings upon matters essential to the granting of a certificate of public convenience and necessity, a decision of the Commission, granting such certificate, is not supported by the findings of fact and under the provisions of Section 28-3219 NDRC 1943 must be reversed.””
