## Opinion text

Hill, J.
(concurring specially) — The opinion correctly states the law. I concur specially because I do not believe that the legislature intended that school districts and other similarly situated “agencies” of the state should be without appeal from the rulings of the Washington State Board *274 Against Discrimination or any other state board. I am thoroughly in sympathy with the aims and purposes of the Board Against Discrimination, but its determinations should ultimately be subject to review by the courts. Ours is, or should be, a government of laws and not of men, even though the men, also, constitute a Board.
Rosellini, C. J., concurs with Hill, J.
