The decision of the Court of Appeal, Third District, has been sent to us by that Court as being one which passes upon a question certified to be of great public interest. See Shipp v. City of Miami, Court of Appeal, Third District, 172 So.2d 618.

On the authority of the cited opinion the decision of the District Court is approved and the writ is discharged.
