## Opinion text

Weintraub, C. J.
(concurring). I join in the opinion of Mr. Justice Proctor but I add that I believe it was beyond the power of the municipality to exact the option in question, and hence that the option was void from the beginning. In my view no statute authorized the imposition of a condition of that kind.
