## Opinion text

DRAPER, P. J.
I concur, but with extreme reluctance. Under the unusual circumstances here shown, it seems grossly unfair to place upon appellant the substantial loss involved. I cannot, however, find any way of articulating an exception to cover this hardship case which would not also permit future evasion by others of the salutary purpose of the Contractors’ Licensing Act.
A petition for a rehearing was denied June 7, 1974, and appellant’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied July 3, 1974.
