Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The question certified to this Court in the above stated cause for an answer is not such a question as falls within Rule 4.6, Florida Appellate Rules, in that our answer, if given, would not be determinative of the cause and for the further reason that there appears to be controlling-precedent in this state on which a decision of the Chancellor could be based. The trial court, under Section 6, of Article V of the Constitution of Florida, F.S.A., has the power to adjudicate the question, the answer to which may be reviewed on appeal' if desired. See City of Hollywood v. Peck, Fla., 57 So.2d 842.

STURGIS, C. J., and CARROLL and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
