## Opinion text

On Application for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
In briefs filed on application for rehearing issue was taken to certain statements in our opinion in this case concerning vested rights, impairment of the obligation of contracts, and the validity of the lease between Belle Isle and Sun Oil.
Upon further consideration we have decided that a discussion of these issues is unnecessary to a decision in this case, and we now prefer to rest our decision solely on the basis that Act 513 of 1952 is constitutional because it is a valid exercise by the state of its police power.
The application for rehearing is denied.
McCALEB, J.,
is of the belief that all views expressed in the original opinion, to which he adheres, are responsive to the issues presented in the case.
