In exercising the above mentioned powers, the Commission may, so long as such action is in conformity with the terms of this chapter, reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination which ought to be made, and to that end shall have powers of the Administrative Official from whom the appeal is taken. Every appeal granted or denied must be accompanied by a written finding of fact based on testimony and evidence presented to the Commission, and by written reasons for granting or denying the appeal.
