## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Bell:
I dissent.
Notwithstanding the fact that the majority does not expressly decide the question, the implication and the necessary result of the majority Opinion is to enable the City to practically and effectually prohibit the erection of adequate school buildings within zoned areas or districts, in which the School Board desires and the City opposes a school.”/
