## Opinion text

Brown, J.
(concurring specially). — The Act here in question, Chapter 17534, is, in my opinion, invalid, in that it embraces more than one subject, in both its title and in the body of the Act, thus clearly violating Section 16 of Article III of the Constitution. See Colonial Investment Co. v. Nolan, 100 Fla. 1349 , 131 So. 178 , and cases therein cited. This alone is sufficient to sustain the action of the lower court in granting the injunction.
