The opinion

DAVIDSON, Judge

(dissenting on appellant’s motion for .rehearing).

The opinion overruling appellant’s motion for rehearing is predicated not so much on *299 whether the Gilderbloom case is right as it is that it should not be overruled, even though wrong.

Concerning such pronouncement I can only say that the wtong never becomes the right because it is persisted in.

The Gilderbloom case is so patently wrong and announces such a new and incorrect rule of statutory construction in this state that it ought to be expressly overruled.
