ROBERTS, Justice

(dissenting):

I agree in principle with the rule of law announced in the majority opinion but under the facts of this case, it is my opinion that a dominant public purpose would be served so I must dissent in this case. Compare : Riviere v. Orlando Parking Commission, etc., Fla., 74 So.2d 694.

DREW, Justice

(dissenting):

I agree, in all respects, with the able dissenting opinion of Judge Wigginton of the First District in this case.1 I would quash the decision of the District Court and adopt the dissenting opinion of Judge Wigginton as the decision of this Court with directions to affirm the judgment of the trial court.

THOMAS, J., concurs.
