## Opinion text

BachmaN, J.
(dissenting).
I am of the opinion that chapter 61 of the Public Acts of 1919 is unconstitutional, for the reason that it authorizes the appropriation of the public funds to private uses and purposes, and, in so far as the dissenting opinion of Mr. Special Justice Smith is based upon this ground, I concur therein.
