## Opinion text

ADAMS, J.,
concurring specially:
I concur in the' judgment of reversal because these lands, being sovereign lands below the meander line of the Lake Okeechobee, never constituted any part of the area of the Drainage District. The question of whether the lands were reclaimed, at whose expense or whether there was or was not some appreciable or incidental benefits flowing to them by the district is therefore immaterial.
