Opinion by
Judge Rogers,The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (LCB) has appealed from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County. The court order complained of was made after a hearing de novo of Rural Club of Brushton’s appeal from an LCB order suspending its club liquor license for 45 days for selling liquor and beer to nonmembers and for after hours transactions. The court below could not have and did not disturb the LCB’s findings on the merits. The court concluded, however, that it was unreasonable for the LCB in fixing the penalty to have considered past violations occurring more than three years prior to the offense in question. Characterizing this conclusion as finding of fact different from LCB’s, the court reduced the period of suspension to ten days. We reverse.
It is clear law that a court may not reverse or change the action of the LCB unless it makes findings of fact on material issues different from those made by LCB. Carver House, Inc. Liquor License Case, 454 Pa. 38, 310 A.2d 81 (1973). In Crangi Liquor License Case, 25 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 322, 361 A.2d 488 (1976), we held that the lower court’s view that the LCB gave erroneous or arbitrary consideration to pri- or violations in fixing the penalty was not a material *476additional finding of fact upon which a modification of the penalty conld be based.
We reverse the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County and reinstate the order of the LCB suspending the Club license of the appellee, Rural Club of Brushton, for forty-five days.
