Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
SHENK, J.
I concur in the opinion and the judgments of reversal. The opinion contains a well considered discussion of the subject of municipal affairs as applied to á municipality operating under a freeholder’s charter. If the same consideration had been given to that subject and been applied in the case of Wilson v. Beville, 47 Cal.2d 852 [ 306 P.2d 789 ], the judgment in that case would have been affirmed in its entirety.
