The opinion
Weaver, J.
(concurring in the result) — I expressed my views on the applicability of Art. II, § 38, of the constitution to the “enrolled bill” rule in a concurring opinion in Derby Club v. Becket, 41 Wn. (2d) 869, 252 P. (2d) 259 . However, a majority of the court is not in favor of discarding the rule. Accordingly, I concur in the result reached by the majority.
