## Opinion text

Schwellenbach, C. J.
(concurring specially) — I have signed the majority opinion, but in fairness to all concerned it should be stated that after this case had been assigned to one of the judges, and his opinion did not meet with the approval of a majority, the case was then reassigned to Judge Hill for opinion.
