The sole question presented on this appeal is the liability vel non of the County in a tort action. The court below answered in the negative. His judgment is affirmed on authority of Keggin v.

The record shows that at the time the alleged tort was committed the County was performing a governmental function.
Affirmed.
THOMAS, C. J., CHAPMAN and SEBRING, JJ., concur.
