The opinion

BEAUCHAMP, Judge

(dissenting on rehearing.)

I have again considered with much care the information and find myself wholly unable to agree with the majority opinion on the motion for rehearing.

There is no disagreement as to the law involved. It is usually considered useless to dissent on a construction of the language or on facts, but the language is so plain and clear to my mind that I am unable to assent to the construction given it by the majority. My original opinion expresses my view. I respectfully dissent.
