[, The brief submitted in support of the motion contended that the Ball rent act requires the court to render a final decision and that therefore the court was without jurisdiction in set- ting aside the action of the rent gom- mission. It was asserted that the |court may modify the commission's decision. but that a final determina- tion on the evidence is obligatory. Mr. Brown maintains that shoull the Corut of Appeals be allowed to set aside the determination of cases by the rent commission the effect would be to block the work of the |commission. and that pending fur- ther procedure, the rents which were protested against- would continue to he in force instead of those fixed by the commission.
