*547Carr, "C. J.
(concurring). The provision of the employment security act of this State relating to review of findings of the employment security appeal board* declares that the:
“court may reverse such decision of said appeal board upon a question of fact only if it finds that said decision of the appeal board is contrary to the great weight of the evidence.”
In the instant case the board decided as a factual matter that appellant was not offered suitable employment by appellee. From such finding the conclusion followed that she was not barred from receiving unemployment compensation because of her refusal to accept the position of teller, in appellee’s bank, which was offered to her. On the record before us it may not be said that such finding of the appeal board Avas against the great weight of the evidence. On a prior occasion she had been transferred, at her request based on reasons of health, from her employment as teller to another position in the bank. Apparently her superiors recognized at the time that her claim that employment as teller was detrimental to her health was well-founded. The finding of the appeal board in such respect should have been sustained by the circuit court.
The case is remanded to the circuit court with directions to set aside the order entered, and for af-firmance of the action of the appeal board. In view of the nature of the question at issue, no costs are allowed.
