## Opinion text

Hill, J.
(dissenting) — In my opinion, the act in question violates at least two constitutional provisions:
Art. II, § 19. My reasons are fully stated in the dissent in Casco Co. v. P. U. D. No. 1 of Thurston County, 37 Wn. (2d) 777, 226 P. (2d) 235 .
Art. II, § 38. We should go behind the enrolled bill in this case, on the basis of the reasons suggested by the concurring opinions in Derby Club v. Becket, 41 Wn. (2d) 869, 252 P. (2d) 259 , and by Judge Schwellenbach’s dissent in this case.
Olson, J., concurs with Hill, J.
