The greater part of the evidence in the case was submitted in the form of depositions taken at San Francisco. The Examiner concluded that the applicant is now rendering good local broadcasting service and is supplying an ex¬ isting need in the San Francisco are, and the report further states: "There appeals to be a need as well as an opportunity for more of this type of service tn sai>d areau.'
The Examiner disposed of the pending applications for new or increased facili¬ ties from California, after listing the applications, with the following conclusion: "In view of the fact that there is no evidence in this record with reference to the need of the additional service or the increased facilities involved in the pending applications above listed said pending applications present no objection to the granting of this applicant's application."
