## Opinion text

The case presented by the bill is one for declaratory judgment. Tuscaloosa County v. Shamblin, 233 Ala. 6 , 169 So. 234 .
On further consideration I am not in agreement with the holding of the majority in this case nor in the case of Herbert v. T. M. Perry et al., post, p. 71, 177 So. 561 , this day decided. I therefore respectfully dissent for reasons stated in my opinion in the Herbert-Perry Case.
