BLACKBIRD, Vice Chief Justice
(specially concurring).
My individual views have never been in harmony with those expressed by the Majority on some of the questions involved here. However, in the previous case of Application of Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, Okl., 348 P.2d 510, involving The Oklahoma Turnpike Act of 1959 (Chap. 18c, S.L.1959, pgs. 283, 292) the Majority of my Associates expressed views that must be regarded as decisive on a number of the same, or similar, questions in this case. By so doing, they committed this court to determinations, which are binding upon other Members of this Court, regardless of conflicting personal views. See State ex rel. Murphy v. Johnson, 185 Okl. 651, 95 P.2d 99, 100. It is solely because of this, that I now concur in the Majority opinion in this case.
